Remaining Risks - Scheppach CSH46 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

Important notices
• Work slowly and hold on to the saw with both
hands. Ensure a secure standing position and
balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. Practise ex-
treme caution when cutting small parts of the tree.
Flexible material can get caught in the saw-chain
and be ejected in your direction or make you lose
your balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. This particu-
larly applies to bent or loaded branches. Avoid
coming in contact with the branch or the saw when
the tension on the wood is released.
• Keep your working area clear. Clear the path of
branches so you do not trip over them.
Trimming
• Do not start trimming the tree before it has been
felled. Only then can you carry out the trimming
safely and properly.
• Leave larger branches underneath the felled tree
and use them as a support while you continue
working.
• Start at the foot of the felled tree and work your
way up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the
tree with one cut.
• Make sure that the tree is always between you
and the saw.
• Remove larger, supporting branches using the
method from Section „Log division without sup-
port".
• Always remove small freely suspended parts of
the tree with a top cut. They may fall into the saw
or trap it if you use an undercut.
Pruning (Fig. K)
m CAUTION
Prune branches only at or below shoulder height.
Never cut branches above shoulder height. Leave
that kind of work to a professional.
• For the first cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 of the way into the
lower part of the branch.
• Then cut all the way through the branch with the
second cut (Pos. 2). The third cut (Pos. 3) is a top
cut with which you separate the branch from the
trunk at a distance of 2.5 to 5cm.

5.8 Remaining risks

m DANGER
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
created by cutting and impact, related to the saw
chain.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
from contact with parts under high voltage (direct
contact) or parts which have become under high volt-
age under faulty conditions (indirect contact).

THERMAL HAZARDS
which can result in burns, scalds and other injuries,
created by possible contact of persons with objects
or materials with high temperature including the radi-
ation of heat sources.
NOISE HAZARDS
which can result in hearing losses (deafness) and
other physiological disorders (e.g. loss of balance,
loss of awareness), and interference with auditory
signals and speech communication.
VIBRATION HAZARDS
which can result in peripheral circulatory and nerv-
ous functional disturbances in the hand-arm system,
such as white finger disease.
HAZARDS FROM CONTACT
with or inhalation of harmful fluids, gases, mists,
fumes and dusts related to exhaust gases.
HAZARDS
from unhealthy postures or excessive efforts related
to machine use.
HAZARDS
from unexpected start-up, unexpected overrun/over-
speed from failure/disorder of the control system re-
lated to failure in the handles and position of the con-
trols.
Hazards from failure of the control system related to
handle strength, position of controls and marking.
Hazards from break up (chain) during operation relat-
ed to saw chain.
Hazards from ejection of objects or fluids related to
chip discharge and fuel spillage.
Hazards from dropping the chain-saw while working
in a tree.
RISK OF INJURY !
Contact with the saw-chain can lead to fatal cutting
injuries.
Never put your hands into the running saw-chain.
RISK OF KICKBACK!
Kickback can lead to fatal cutting injuries.
RISK OF BURNING!
The chain and the guide bar heat up during opera-
tion.
Behaviour during an emergency
Start First Aid measures relevant to the injury and re-
quest medical help as quickly as possible. Prevent
the injured person from further injury and keep him/
her rested. For potentially occurring accidents, the
First Aid kit, according to DIN 13164, should always
be handy at the work place. Material taken from the
First Aid kit must be replaced immediately. When you
are requesting help, give the following information:
