Homelite UT43123 Manual Del Operador página 6

 Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting
edge sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
 Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use
a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles. Serious injury to the opera-
tor, helpers, bystanders, or any combination
of these persons may result from one-handed
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
 Guard against electric shock - Avoid body
contact with grounded surfaces such as metal
pipes and wire fences. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
 Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should slow to a
stop when the switch trigger is released. If the
chain continues to turn after the switch trigger
has been released, have the unit serviced by
your nearest Homelite service dealer.
 Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
dealer unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in
this manual.
 All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the operation and maintenance sections,
should be performed by your nearest Homelite
service dealer.
 Always maintain a proper stance.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Page 6 — English
 Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it
on and off. Have defective switch replaced by
authorized service center.
 Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
 Disconnect chain saw from power supply when
not in use, before servicing, and when making
adjustments and changing attachments, such
as saw chain and guard.
 Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
 Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
rooftop, scaffold, or other unstable support; this
is extremely dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on
the job being performed as well as the size tree
or work piece involved. For example, felling a
tree requires a larger work area than making
bucking cuts.
 Do not force the chain saw. The job can be
performed better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
 Always use the right product for your applica-
tion. The chain saw should be used for cutting
wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als.
 Store chain saw when not in use. Chain saw
should be stored in a dry and high or locked
area out of the reach of children. When storing
chain saw place the sleeve on the bar and chain
and store the chain saw in carrying case.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct others who
may use this product. If you loan someone this
product, loan them these instructions also.
