Power Tool Use And Care; Battery Tool Use And Care; Service; Safety Instructions For Chain Saws - GreenWorks Commercial 48TH12 Manual Del Operador

• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
• 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.
2.5

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
English
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
2.6

SERVICE

• 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.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHAIN SAWS
3.1

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not in contact
with anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand at the
rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
