Fcc Warning - EarthWise CVPS44010 Manuel De L'utilisateur

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 sudden
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 upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
Do not use the extended-reach pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any
electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines
may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
WARNING: California Proposition 65: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Some dust and debris created by this tool could
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
-chemicals in fertilizers
-compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
-arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure,
work in a well ventilated area and with approved safety
equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
•
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
•
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
•
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
•
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
