Residual Risks - Worx WG322E Manual Original

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even with the intended use of the appliance there is always
a residual risk, which can not prevented. According to
the type and construction of the appliance the following
potential hazards might apply:
- Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards)
- Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)
- Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar
(cutting hazards)
- Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting /
injection hazards)
- Flung out of parts of the work piece
- Skin contact with the oil
- Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used
during work
FOR CHAIN SAW WITH THE
EXTENDED POLE SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Do not use the machine when the operator is tired, ill
or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
2. To reduce the risk, please keep bystanders at a safe
distance from the machine during its operation.
3. Be aware of the dangerous of operating positions, as
well as the risk of being struck by falling branches or
branches that, having hit the ground, rebound, the
12
operator may be struck by falling branches or by those
that rebound after hitting the ground. Remove the
branches in sections.
4. Keep a firm footing and balance during operating. Use
the harness provided.
5. Keep the machine a sufficient distance away from
overhead electrical power lines.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BAT-
TERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. 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.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
Cordless Chain Saw
advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not
in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance when it
is operated at normal room temperature (20 °C ±
5 °C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery
packs of different electrochemical systems
separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified by
Worx. Do not use any charger other than that
specifically provided for use with the equipment.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment when
not in use.
s) Dispose of properly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions concerning the proper techniques for
basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling
operations should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or
cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact
with any utility line, the company should be notified
immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after
it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should
extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line
of fall as illustrated in Figure 1.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the
tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction
to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
