Power Tool Use And Care; Service; Safety Instructions For Chain Saws; Chainsaw Safety Warnings - GreenWorks CSA801 Manuel De L'utilisateur

• 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
appropriately will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when 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.
• 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.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
English
• 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 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.

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.
3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHAIN SAWS
3.1

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not in contact
with anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand at the
rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw 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 or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective product for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a
chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw
only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert of
spring back. When the tension in the wood is released,
the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or
throw the chainsaw out of control.
• 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.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chainsaw, always fit
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw
