Personal Safety; Chain Saw Safety Warnings - sunjoe 24V-X2-CS16 Manuel D'utilisation

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication – A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection – Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting battery packs,
picking up or carrying the tool – Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on – A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times – This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts – Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used – Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application – The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off – Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the battery packs 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.
4. 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean – Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories 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.
Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs – Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery packs are not in use, keep them 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.
4. 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 replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings

• Keep guards in place. Protective guards should be
checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and
in correct working order.
• Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the saw. Be sure to encase the
cutting bar in its protective sheath when not in use.
• 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 the
chain saw 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 the front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
