Device-Specific Safety Instructions - Wolf Garten Li-Ion Power PSA 700 Originalbetriebsanleitung

z Handle the electric tool with care and
service it regularly. Ensure that all moving
parts can work properly and are not
jammed and regularly inspect the tool for
defective or damaged parts that might
impair its function. Have damaged parts
repaired before you start the tool. Many
accidents are caused by insufficiently
maintained electric tool.
z Keep the cutting parts sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will rarely get jammed and are
easier to operate.
z When using the electric tool, the
accessories and replacement parts, strictly
adhere to the instructions in this manual.
Take into account the actual working
conditions and the task in hand. The use of
electric tools for purposes other than the
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Proper use of battery-powered tools
z Recharge the battery only with chargers
that have been specifically recommended
by the manufacturer. If a different charger is
used, there is a risk of fire.
z Operate the electric tool only with the
battery provided for this task. The use of
other batteries can lead to injury or fire.
z Ensure that the battery is never in contact
with metal objects such as paper clips,
coins, keys, nails or screws, as they could
short-circuit the contacts. Short-circuiting
the battery contact can lead to fire and injury
from burns.
z If the battery is used incorrectly, fluid might
leak out. Avoid contact with the fluid. In
event of accidental contact, rinse with
water. In case of fluid contact with the eyes,
consult a doctor. Leaking battery fluid can
cause irritation of the skin and burns.
Service
z If the electric tool needs to be repaired,
have the repair carried out by specialist
personnel and instruct them to use only
original spare parts. This ensures the
operational safety of the electric tool.

Device-specific safety instructions

z Keep all parts of the body away when the
saw is operating. Before starting the saw,
ensure that the saw chain is not touching
anything. While working with a chain saw,
one instant of negligence may result in cloth-
ing or body parts being caught by the saw
chain.
z Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand at the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle. Holding the chain saw
the other way round enhances the risk of inju-
ries and should not be used.
z Wear safety goggles and ear muffs. It is
recommended to use other protective gear
for the head, hands, legs and feet. Appropri-
ate protective clothing reduces the risk of inju-
ry caused by shavings flying about and
accidental contact with the saw chain.
z Do not work with the chain saw on a tree.
There is risk of injuries when operating the saw
on a tree.
z Always ensure a stable stance and posture
and use the chain saw only if you are stan-
ding on a solid, safe and level floor.
A slippery floor or unstable surfaces, such as
on a ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss
of control of the chain saw.
z Reckon with the fact that while cutting a
branch under tension, it is likely to recoil or
rebound. When the tension in the wooden fi-
bres gets released, the tensioned branch may
hit the operator and / or snatch control of the
chain saw.
z Be particularly careful while cutting under-
growth and young trees. The thin material
may get caught in the saw chain and hit you or
make you lose your balance.
z Carry the saw chain at the front handle
when it is switched off so that the saw
chain is turned away from your body. Al-
ways pull the protective cover over the saw
chain when transporting it or storing it
away. Working with the saw chain carefully
and diligently reduces the likelihood of touch-
ing it inadvertently while it is operating.
z Follow the instructions for lubrication,
tightening the chain and replacing acces-
sories. A chain that has not been tightened or
lubricated properly may either snap or en-
hance the risk of a rebound or recoil.
z Keep the handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Greasy and oily handles are
slippery and cause loss of control.
