Bosch Power Tools F 016 L70 758 | (4.10.11)

f Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjust-

ments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety meas-

ures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

f Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfa-

miliar with the power tool or these in-

structions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

f Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-

ment or binding of moving parts, break-

age of parts and any other condition that

may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-

erly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

f Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-

tions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations differ-

ent from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

f Recharge only with the charger specified

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may

create a risk of fire when used with anoth-

er battery pack.

f Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any oth-

er battery packs may create a risk of injury

and fire.

f When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other

small metal objects, that can make a con-

nection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together

may cause burns or a fire.

f Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additional-

ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from

the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

f Have your power tool serviced by a quali-

fied repair person using only identical re-

placement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings

f Keep all parts of the body away from the

saw chain when the motor is operating.

Before you start the chain saw, make sure

the saw chain is not contacting anything.

A moment of inattention while operating

chain saws may cause entanglement of

your clothing or body with the saw chain.

f Always hold the chain saw with your right

hand on the rear handle and your left

hand on the front handle. Holding the

chain saw with a reversed hand configura-

tion increases the risk of personal injury

and should never be done.

f Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain may

contact hidden wiring. Saw chains con-

tacting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and

could give the operator an electric shock.

f Wear safety glasses and hearing protec-

tion. Further protective equipment for

head, hands, legs and feet is recommend-

ed. Adequate protective clothing will re-

duce personal injury by flying debris or ac-

cidental contact with the saw chain.

f Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Op-

eration of a chain saw while up in a tree

may result in personal injury.

f Always keep proper footing and operate

the chain saw only when standing on

fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery

or unstable surfaces such as ladders may

cause a loss of balance or control of the

chain saw.

f When cutting a limb that is under tension

be alert for spring back. When the tension

in the wood fibres is released the spring

loaded limb may strike the operator and/or

throw the chain saw out of control.

f Use extreme caution when cutting brush

and saplings. The slender material may

catch the saw chain and be whipped to-

ward you or pull you off balance.

f Carry the chain saw by the front handle

with the chain saw switched off and away

from your body. When transporting or

storing the chain saw, always fit the guide

bar cover. Proper handling of the chain

saw will reduce the likelihood of acciden-

tal contact with the moving saw chain.

f Follow instructions for lubricating, chain

tensioning and changing accessories. Im-

properly tensioned or lubricated chain may

either break or increase the chance for

kickback.

f Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil

and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slip-

pery causing loss of control.

f Cut wood only. Don’t use chain saw for

purposes not intended. For example: do

not use chain saw for cutting plastic, ma-

sonry or non-wood building materials.

Use of the chain saw for operations differ-

ent than intended could result in a hazard-

ous situation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

– Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of

the guide bar touches an object, or when the

wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in

the cut.

– Tip contact in some cases may cause a sud-

den reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up

and back towards the operator.

– Pinching the saw chain along the top of the

guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back

towards the operator.

– Either of these reactions may cause you to

lose control of the saw which could result in

serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
