Personal Safety - Oregon CS250 Manuel D'instruction

OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM
CHAIN SAW MODEL CS250
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply
or ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). Use of a RCD (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating the chain saw. Do not use
the chain saw while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saw may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the chain saw on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of the chain saw may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times (Fig. 1). This
enables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.

AF 0513 - F/N 547361
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• Use two hands when operating the
chain saw.
• The work piece, bar, and chain can be
hot after cutting. Wear gloves to avoid
burns.
• Use proper auxiliary equipment
and ensure that it is not damaged,
of adequate strength, and securely
placed. Use auxiliary equipment only for the
purpose for which it is intended.
• Prolonged use of power tools has been
reported to cause vascular, muscular,
or neurological disorders (such as
vibration white finger or Raynaud's
syndrome). To reduce the risk of injury,
follow these instructions:
– Wear gloves and keep hands and body
warm.
– Maintain a firm grip on the hedge
trimmer, but do not use prolonged,
excessive pressure.
– Take frequent breaks.
The vibration in normal use can differ
from the stated values depending on the
material being cut, maintenance of the
cutting system, and other factors
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the chain saw. Use the
correct chain saw for your application.
The correct chain saw will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the chain saw 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
