Specific Safety Rules; Electrical Safety; Double Insulation - Black & Decker PP610 Instruction Manual

• Use the extension cord retainer (15) described in this manual.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting. Do not carry plugged-in pole saw with
finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• Do not Abuse Cord. Never carry pole saw by cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when
picking up or holding the pole saw.
• Do Not Force pole Saw. It will do the job better and with less likelihood
of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do Not Overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate pole saw when you are tired.
• Disconnect pole saw. Disconnect the pole saw from the power supply
when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as
chains, and the like.
• Store Idle pole saws Indoors. When not in use, pole saw should be stored
indoors in dry, and high or locked-up place out of reach of children.
• maintain pole saw With Care. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for
best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect pole saw cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the pole saw, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

SpECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Electrical safety

This tool is double insulated; therefore no grounding wire is required. Always
check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided
on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the gardening appliance.
Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may
be used for this measure of safety.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
CAUTION:
Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
between you and the tools electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool
is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension
cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection. NOTE: Double
insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against
injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
