care. Carefully remove any debris which
could cause damage or injury to persons or
animals if ignored.
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can
cause injuries and neurovascular disorders
(also called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white
finger"), especially to people suffering from
circulation disorders. The symptoms can
regard the hands, wrists and fingers and are
shown through loss of sensitivity, torpor,
itching, pain and discolouring of or structural
changes to the skin. These effects can be
worsened by low ambient temperatures and/
or by gripping the hand grips excessively
tightly. If the symptoms occur, the length of
time the machine is used must be reduced
and a doctor consulted.
2.3 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety and high
performance levels.
a) When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory,
shut off the power source, disconnect the machine
from the supply and make sure that all moving
parts are come to a complete stop.
b) Allow the machine to cool beforemaking any
inspections, adjustments, and before storing.
c) Maintain the machine with care and keep it
clean in a dry place out of the reach of children.
d) Never use the machine with worn or damaged
parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always
be replaced and never repaired. Use original
replacement parts only.
e) To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with
debris inside a room.
f) Never attempt to override the interlocked feature
of the guard.
The noise and vibration levels shown in
these instructions are the maximum levels
for use of the machine. Suitable preventive
measures must be adopted to eliminate
possible harm caused by high noise levels
and vibration-induced stresses; utilise the
machine at constant speed, firmly hold the
handgrip with adequate strength, utilise the
machine at the minimum speed required
to perform the work, wear ear-protection
devices, make frequent and adequate pauses
during the work.
2.4 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
ATTENTION
The following safety rules complement
the safety rules contained in the battery
charger manual.
• Only use battery chargers recommended by
the manufacturer to recharge batteries. An
inadequate battery charger may cause electric
shock, overheating or corrosive liquid to leak
from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for
your power tool. The use of other batteries may
cause injuries and fire risks.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects as contact with the same
can cause short circuits. Short circuits between
battery contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery charger in environments
in the presence of vapours, flammable
substances or on easily flammable surfaces
such as paper, fabric, etc. The battery charger
heats up during recharging and may cause a
fire.
• When transporting batteries, make sure the
contacts never come into contact with each
other and never use metal containers to
transport them.
2.5 PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid
being
neighbourhood.
reasonable times of the day only (not early
morning or late evening when the noise could
cause disturbance).
• A certain amount of chain lubricating oil
is released into the environment when the
machine is running, so only use biodegradable
oils made specifically for this use. Use of a
mineral oil or motor oil causes serious damage
to the environment.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal
of packaging, deteriorated parts or any
elements with a strong environmental impact;
this waste must not be disposed of as normal
waste, it must be separated and taken to
specified waste disposal centres where the
material will be recycled.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal
of waste materials
