Chain Saw Safety Warnings - Ryobi RY40505 Manuel D'utilisation

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES
 Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
 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.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 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 contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.
 Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 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 another battery pack.
 Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
 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 connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
 When servicing a power tool, use only iden-
tical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk
of personal injury and should never be done.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
