Vibration Load; Noise Pollution; Safety Notes For Rechargeable Battery And Charger - AL-KO PS 1815 Manual De Instrucciones

Safety instructions
blades can break, negatively influence the
cut, or lead to a recoil.
■
Do not bring the saw blade to a stop by
applying side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or
cause a recoil.
■
Clamp the material securely. Do not sup-
port the workpiece with your hand or foot.
Do not touch other objects or the floor
with the saw running. Danger of recoil.
■
Use appropriate detectors to detect hid-
den utility lines in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Con-
tact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to an explosion. Cutting into a water pipe
causes property damage.
■
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece secured
with clamps or in a vice is held more securely
than if held in your hand.
■
Wait until the power tool has come to a
standstill before putting it down. The at-
tachment can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
3.3

Vibration load

WARNING! Danger due to vibration. The
actual magnitude of the vibration emissions
during the use of the appliance may deviate from
that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the fol-
lowing influencing factors before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or processed in the
proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is
the correct cutting tool installed?
■
Are the handle grips and any optional vibra-
tion grips mounted, and are they firmly at-
tached to the appliance?
■
Only operate the tool at the motor speed re-
quired for the respective work.
■
The noise and vibrations of the tool may in-
crease due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably

reduces stress due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool exposes the opera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
of the skin. Normally these conditions affect
the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increas-
es at low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or disc-
olouration of the skin on your hands when us-
ing the tool, stop work immediately. Take suf-
ficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks,
a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the tool according to the in-
structions in the operating instructions.
■
If the tool is used frequently, contact your
dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the tool at temperatures
below 0°C. Define how the vibration load can
be limited in a work plan.
3.4

Noise pollution

A certain level of noise exposure from this appli-
ance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at ap-
proved and specified time periods. Observe rest
periods as necessary and restrict the duration of
the work to a minimum. For your personal protec-
tion and protection of persons in the vicinity, ap-
propriate hearing protection must be worn.
3.5 Safety notes for rechargeable battery
and charger
