Residual Risks; Electrical Safety; Using An Extension Cable - DeWalt XR DCMCS574 Instruction Manual

Guide Bar ‑ A solid railed structure that supports and guides
•
the saw chain.
Scabbard/Guide Bar Cover ‑ Enclosure fitted over guide bar
•
to help prevent tooth contact when saw is not in use.
Kickback ‑ The backward or upward motion, or both of the
•
guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the
top area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or
branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut.
Kickback, Pinch ‑ The rapid pushback of the saw which can
•
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw
chain in the cut along the top of the guide bar.
Kickback, Rotational ‑ The rapid upward and backward
•
motion of the saw which can occur when the moving saw
chain near the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
contacts an object, such as a log or branch.
Limbing ‑ Removing the branches from a fallen tree.
•
Low‑Kickback Chain ‑ A chain that complies with the
•
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012
(when tested on a representative sample of chain saws.)
Normal Cutting Position ‑ Those positions assumed in
•
performing the bucking and felling cuts.
Notching Undercut ‑ A notch cut in a tree that directs the
•
tree's fall.
Rear Handle ‑ The support handle located at or toward the
•
rear of the saw.
Reduced Kickback Guide Bar ‑ A guide bar which has been
•
demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
Replacement Saw Chain ‑ A chain that complies with
•
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012
when tested with specific chain saws. It may not meet the ANSI
performance requirements when used with other saws.
Saw Chain ‑ A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the
•
wood,and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the
guide bar.
Ribbed Bumper ‑ The ribs used when felling or bucking to
•
pivot the saw and maintain position while sawing.
Switch ‑ A device that when operated will complete or
•
interrupt an electrical power circuit to the motor of the
chain saw.
Switch Linkage ‑ The mechanism that transmits motion from
•
a trigger to the switch.
Switch Lockout ‑ A movable stop that prevents the
•
unintentional operation of the switch until manually actuated.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
D WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
e
as easy as possible to operate.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
i
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D WALTcharger is double insulated in
e
accordance with IEC 60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D WALT or an authorised service organisation.
e

Using an Extension Cable

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The minimum
conductor size is 1 mm ; the maximum length is 30 m.
2
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to Technical Data).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of
e
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
•
chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
•
charging D WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
e
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
