chain saw 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.

because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Saw chains contacting a ″live″ wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool ″live″ and could give the operator an
electric shock.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into
charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service center for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that

of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in checked baggage.
