- This electrically powered saw is classified by CSA as a Class 2C saw. It
is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers,
and for such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood,
etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation
can cause circulatory problems in the user's hands due to vibration. For
such use, it may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-vibration
feature.
Kickback Safety Features
Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar
that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide bar, contacts an
object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
WARNING: The following features are included on your Alligator
TM
Lopper to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw user do
not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions,
instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other forces which can result in serious injury.
Top Jaw - This has been designed specifically to cover the tip of the chain
bar where the danger zone for kickback occurs. In the event of any
kickback the guard also helps prevent the chain coming into contact with
the operator.
Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - This has been designed with a small
radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback zone on the bar tip.
Reduced Kickback Chain - Designed with a contoured depth gauge and
guard link which deflect kickback force and allows wood to gradually ride
into the cutter.
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.
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.
