4.
Repairs and Maintenance.
All the machine parts that
can be replaced personally, are clearly explained in
the “Assembly / disassembly” instructions chapter.
Where necessary, all other machine parts must be
replaced exclusively by an Authorised Service Centre.
5.
Clothing. (fig 4)
When using this machine the user
must wear the following approved individual protective
clothing : close-fitting protective clothing, safety boots
with non-slip soles, crush-proof toe protectors and
cut-proof protection, cut-proof vibration-proof gloves,
protective goggles or safety visor, ear protection muffs
and helmet (if there is any danger of falling objects).
6.
Health precautions – Vibrations and Noise levels.
Avoid using the machine for long periods of time: the
noise and vibrations can be dangerous causing
irritation, stress, fatigue and hypacusia (hearing
problems). Prolonged machine use exposes the user
to vibrations that can generate “white finger
phenomenon” (Raynaud’s Phenomenon), carpal
tunnel syndrome and similar disturbances.
7.
Health precautions – Chemical agents.
Avoid all
chain oil contact with skin and eyes.
8.
Health precautions - Heat.
During use, sprocket and
chain reach very high temperatures, take care not to
touch these parts while hot.
9.
WARNING!
This machine produces an
electromagnetic field during operation. This field may
under some circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
Transport and storage precautions. (fig 12)
Each time
the work area is changed to another location, disconnect
the machine from the mains supply and activate the
chain brake lever. Mount the guide bar cover guard each
time before transporting or storage. Always carry the
machine by hand with the bar facing backwards, or when
transporting the machine in a vehicle, always attach it
securely to prevent damage.
Kickback reaction. (fig 14)
The kickback reaction
consists of a violent upwards-reverse action of the bar
towards the user. This generally occurs if the upper part
of the bar nose (called the “kickback danger zone”)
comes into contact with some object, or if the chain is
blocked in the wood. Kickback can make the user loose
control of the machine provoking dangerous and even
fatal accidents. The chain brake lever and other safety
devices are not sufficient to protect the user against
injury: the user must be well aware of the conditions that
can provoke the reaction, and prevent them by paying
very close attention according to experience, together
with prudent and correct machine handling (for example:
never cut several branches at a time because this can
cause accidental impact on the “kickback danger zone”
Work area safety
1. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the product. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
2. Only use the product in the manner and for the
functions described in these instructions.
3. Check the whole work area carefully to check for any
danger source (e.g.: roads, paths, electric cables,
dangerous trees, etc)
4. Keep all bystanders and animals well clear of the
work area (where necessary, fence off the area and
use warning signs) at a minimum distance of 2.5 x the
trunk height; in any case no less than ten metres.
5. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
Electrical safety
1. It is recommended that you use a Residual Current
Device (R.C.D.) with a tripping current of not more
than 30mA. Even with a R.C.D. installed 100% safety
cannot be guaranteed and safe working practice must
be followed at all times. Check your R.C.D. every time
you use it.
2. Before use, examine cable for damage, replace it if
there are signs of damage or ageing.
3. Do not use the product if the electric cables are
damaged or worn.
4. Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity
supply if the cable is cut, or the insulation is
damaged. Do not touch the electric cable until the
electrical supply has been disconnected. Do not
repair a cut or damaged cable. Replace it with a new
one.
5. Your electric cable must be untangled, tangled cables
can overheat and reduce the efficiency of your
product.
6. Always make sure that the cable/ extension cord is
kept behind the user, ensuring that it does not create
a source of danger for the user or for other persons,
and check that it cannot be damaged (by heat, sharp
objects, sharp edges, oil, etc);
7. Position the cable so that it will not be caught on
branches and the like, during cutting.
8. Always switch off at the mains before disconnecting
any plug, cable connector or extension cable.
9. Switch off, remove plug from mains and examine
electric supply cable for damage or ageing
before
winding cable for storage. Do not repair a damaged
cable, replace it with a new one. Use only Husqvarna
Outdoor Products replacement cable.
10.Remove the plug from the mains before leaving the
product unattended for any period.
11.Always wind cable carefully, avoiding kinking.
12.Use only on AC mains supply voltage shown on the
product rating label.
13.The chainsaw is double insulated to EN60745. Under
no circumstances should an earth be connected to
any part of the product.
Cables
1. Mains cables and extensions are available from your
local Approved service centre
2. Only use approved extension cables
3. Extension cables and leads should only be used if
they are designed for outdoor use and comply with
H07 RN-F or IEC 60245 designation 66.
4. If you want to use an extension cable when operating
your product, only the following cable dimentions
should be used:
