General Chain Saw Safety Warnings - Worx Nitro WG385E Mode D'emploi

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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature . Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6. SERVICE
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
1) GENERAL CHAIN SAW
SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Hold the chain saw 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 chain
saw "live"and could give the operator an electric
shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation
of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension , be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released , the spring loaded limb may strike
the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw ,
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials . Use of the chain saw for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user should,
as a minimum, practise cutting logs on a saw-
horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
