Important Safety Instructions - Makita BUC121 Betriebsanleitung

6. If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the
condition before continuing work. Check the controls
and safety devices for malfunction. If there is any
damage or doubt, ask our authorized service center
for the inspection and repair.
7. Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating (skid
movement) or bouncing of the saw when starting a
cut.
8. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your balance
due to the "drop".
9. Take into account the direction and speed of the
wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot injuries
as well as to protect your hearing the following
protective equipment must be used during oper-
ation of the chain saw:
– The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it
should be tight-fitting but not be a hindrance. Do
not wear jewelry or clothing which could become
entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you have long
hair, always wear a hairnet!
– It is necessary to wear a protective helmet when-
ever working with the chain saw. The protective
helmet is to be checked in regular intervals for
damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at the
latest. Use only approved protective helmets.
– The face shield of the protective helmet (or the
goggles) protects against sawdust and wood
chips. During operation of the chain saw always
wear a goggle or a face shield to prevent eye inju-
ries.
– Wear adequate noise protection equipment
(ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
– The protective jacket consists of 22 layers of
nylon and protects the operator against cuts. It is
always to be worn when working from elevated
platforms (cherry pickers, lifts), from platforms
mounted on ladders or when climbing with ropes.
– The protective brace and bib overall is made of
a nylon fabric with 22 layers and protects against
cuts. We strongly recommend its use.
– Protective gloves made of thick leather are part
of the prescribed equipment and must always be
worn during operation of the chain saw.
– During operation of the chain saw safety shoes
or safety boots fitted with anti skid sole, steel toe
caps and protection for the leg must always to be
worn. Safety shoes equipped with a protective
layer provide protection against cuts and ensure a
secure footing. For working in trees the safety
boots must be suitable for climbing techniques.
Vibration
1. Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to
excessive vibration may experience injury to blood
vessels or the nervous system.
Vibration may cause the following symptoms to
occur in the fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling asleep"
(numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alter-
ation of skin colour or of the skin.
If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!
To reduce the risk of "white finger disease", keep
your hands warm during operation and well maintain
the equipment and accessories.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
