Chain Saw Safety Warnings - Echo ACS-2400 Operating Instructions Manual

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for mis-alignment 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.
5) Service
a) 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.
Emissions
- The specified vibration emission value was
measured by a standardized test methods and
can compare with other power tools are used.
- The specified vibration emission value can
also be necessary for the assessment of work
breaks are used.
- The specified vibration emission value can
vary during the actual use of the electric tool
by specifying the value, depending on the way
how to use the power tool.
- Note: You create the privilege against vascular
pulsations of the hands in time breaks
Please do also consider any local regulations
concerning noise protection!

Chain saw safety warnings

• Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain
while the saw is running. Before starting the saw,
make sure that the chain does not touch any ob-
jects. When working with a chainsaw, even a short
moment of inattentiveness may result in clothes or
parts of the body being caught by the chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
at the rear handle and your left hand at the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw differently (left hand
– rear handle / right hand – front handle) during
operation will increase the risk of injury and is not
permitted.
• Hold the electric equipment by its insulated
handle surfaces, as the chainsaw can come into
contact with its own mains power cable. If the
chainsaw comes into contact with a live cable, it can
energise metal parts of the equipment and cause an
electric shock.
• Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal
protection equipment for the head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Proper protective cloth-
ing and protection equipment reduce the risk of injury
