Electrical Safety - Husqvarna TS 60 Operator's Manual

Dust warning
WARNING! Cutting, especially when DRY
!
cutting, generates dust that comes from the
material being cut, which frequently
contains silica. Silica is a basic component
of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks.
Exposure to excessive amount of such dust
can cause:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability to
breath), including chronic bronchitis,
silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from
exposure to silica. These diseases may be
fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC* */
National Toxicology Program, International
Agency for Research on Cancer
Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with
dust, mist and fumes.
Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear
appropriate respiratory protection such as
dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR
Part 1910.1200)
California Prop 65 Warning
WARNING! Use of this product can cause
!
exposure to materials known to the State of
California to cause cancer and/or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

Electrical safety

WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks
!
from electrically powered machines. Avoid
unfavourable weather conditions and body
contact with lightning conductors and metal
objects. Always follow the instructions in the
Operator's manual to avoid damage.
Never connect the machine to a outlet if plug
or cord is damaged.
WARNING! When cleaning the machine make
!
sure to avoid water entering the electrical
system and the motor unit. Water can cause
damage to the machine or short circuit.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with
the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
OPERATING
• Always shut down the machine before disconnecting the
power plug.
• Never drag the machine by means of the cord and never
pull out the plug by pulling the cord. Hold the plug to
disconnect the power cord.
• Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged,
but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30
mA.
• Prevent unintentional starting of the motor. Ensure the
power switch is in the OFF-position before connecting the
machine to a power source.
Grounding instructions
WARNING! Improper connection can result
!
in the risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified electrician if in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the
outlet have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure local
regulations and ordinances are followed.
If the grounding instructions are not fully
understood contact a qualified electrician.
• The machine is equipped with a grounded cord and plug
and should always be connected to a grounded outlet.
This reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of
malfunction.
• A temporary adapter (1) may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The ear lug (2) extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
Extension cords and cables
• The marking on the extension cable must be the same or
higher than the value stated on the machine's rating plate.
• Use grounded extension cables.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the connection to the extension cord dry and off the
ground.
