PRUNING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Chain should slow to a stop when the switch trigger is released. If the chain continues to turn after the switch trigger has been released, have the unit serviced by an authorized service center. Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections, should be performed by an authorized service center. Always maintain a proper stance. Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have switch replaced by an authorized service center. Do not adapt your power head to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the saw. Disconnect chain saw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when making adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard. Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, rooftop, scaffold, or other unstable support; this is extremely dangerous. NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size tree or work piece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making bucking cuts. Do not force the chain saw. The job can be performed better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Always use the right product for your application. The chain saw should be used for cutting wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Store chain saw when not charging or when not in use. Chain saw should be stored in a dry and high or locked area out of the reach of children. When storing chain saw place the scabbard on the bar and chain. Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432. n Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating. n Remove the battery pack from the chain saw when not charging and before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or when not in use. Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your product and do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids, water, and chemicals can enter the product's electronic components and/or battery compartment and damage electronic components and/or the battery pack, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth occasionally. Keep SAFE-T-TIP anti-kickback nose guard properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent rotational kickback. 6 - English
