grease. Slippery handles and grip
surfaces do not permit safe operation
and control over the power tool in un-
expected situations.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if
a charger that is suitable for a specific
type of battery is used with other bat-
teries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts. A short
circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse off with
water. If the liquid gets into eyes,
seek medical assistance. Leaking bat-
tery fluid may cause skin irritations or
burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered
batteries. Damaged or altered batter-
ies can be unpredictable and lead to
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fire
or elevated temperatures. Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can cause
an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charg-
ing and never charge the bat-
tery or the battery-powered tool
12
outside the temperature range
stated in the operating instruc-
tions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature
range may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batter-
ies. All battery repairs should be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or author-
ised customer service centres only.
Chain saw safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the
chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not con-
tacting anything. A moment of
inattention white operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with
your right hand on the rear han-
dle and your left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chain saw
with a reversed hand configuration in-
creases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
• Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as
the saw chain may come into
contact with concealed power
cables. Contact between the saw
chain and a live cable may render me-
tallic components live and result in an
electric shock.
