Personal Safety - Scheppach CSP41 Traducción De La Instrucción De Original

As a chainsaw user, you must follow several
points in order to carry out your sawing work
without accidents and injuries.
1. A basic understanding of kickback can reduce or
exclude the element of surprise. Sudden rash re-
actions can lead to accidents.
2. When the motor is running, hold on to the saw
tightly with both hands, with the right hand on the
handle at the back and the left hand on the han-
dle at the front. Thumbs and fingers must firm-
ly clasp the chainsaw's handles. A secure hold
helps you to absorb kickback and keep the saw
under control. Do not let go.
3. Ensure that the area where you are cutting is free
from obstacles. The tip of the chain bar must not
come in contact with tree trunks, branches and
similar when cutting with the saw.
4. Use a fast motor speed.
5. Do not lean too far forwards and do not cut above
your shoulder height.
6. Sharpen and maintain the chainsaw in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
7. As replacements, only use guide bars and chains
recommended and approved by the manufactur-
er.
8. If the tool becomes jammed during cutting, it has
to be turned off immediately and freed carefully.
Afterwards, the machine has to be checked for
damage (e.g. bent chain bar) and a test run has
to be carried out.
m NOTICE
The following information is mainly for the end user
or the infrequent user. This chainsaw has been de-
signed for occasional use by home owners, garden
owners and campers, for general work such as clear-
ing, cutting firewood etc. It is not intended for long-
er work. During longer work, because of vibrations,
there is a risk of circulation problems in the user's
hands (white-finger-syndrome).
drome is a vascular disease where the small blood
vessels in fingers and toes contract seizure-like. The
affected areas are no longer supplied with blood and
therefore look very pale. Frequent use of vibrating
machines can cause nerve damage in people whose
circulation is compromised (e.g. smokers, people
with diabetes).
If you notice unusual impairment, immediately stop
the work and consult a doctor. Observe the following
notices in order to reduce risks:
• Keep your body, and particularly your hands, warm
in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks during which you should move
your hands to promote circulation.
• Ensure the lowest possible vibration of the ma-
chine by regularly maintaining it and keeping com-
ponents tight.

5.2 Personal safety

• Never use only one hand when using the saw! Oth-
erwise there is a risk that operating staff, helpers
or onlookers may get injured. A chainsaw has been
designed for use with both hands.
• Wear your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
consisting of: Cut-resistant shoes, cut-protection
trousers, hi-vis vest or jacket in signal colours,
gloves and a helmet with visor and hearing pro-
tection.
• When starting the chainsaw or cutting with it, no
other people should be close to you. Ensure on-
lookers and animals cannot get into the working
environment.
• When the motor is running, all body parts must
point away from the chainsaw.
5.3 Safety notices for handling flammable
fuels
1. WARNING!: Petrol is easily flammable!
2. Store petrol in containers that have been de-
signed specially for this purpose.
3. Refill with petrol when you are outdoors, and do
not smoke.
4. Refill with petrol before starting the motor. Nev-
er remove the fuel tank filler cap or refill with pet-
rol while the motor is running or when it is still hot.
5. When fuel has been spilled, do not start the mo-
tor but remove the machine from the area of the
spilled fuel and avoid all ignition sources until all
petrol fumes have dispersed. Put the cap back
securely on the fuel tank and on the canister.
Refuelling
• Turn off the motor before refuelling.
m CAUTION! Always open the fuel filler cap care-
fully so the existing pressure can be released slowly.
• High temperatures are generated on the casing
during work. Before refuelling, allow the machine
to cool down fully.
m CAUTION! If the machine has not cooled down
sufficiently, the fuel could ignite during refuelling and
cause severe burns.
• Ensure that the tank is not overfilled. If you spill
any fuel, it has to be wiped away immediately and
the machine must be cleaned.
• Always close the screw plug on the fuel tank prop-
erly, so loosening is prevented from vibrations dur-
ing operation.
