Personal Safety - Husqvarna K 3000 Vac Manual De Instrucciones

• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord is
damaged, hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord
while it is rolled up.
• When using an extension cable, use only certified
extension cables with sufficient reach. For more
information, see "Recommended cable dimensions"
in the "Technical data" section. An undersized cable
means a risk of reduced machine capacity and
overheating.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
socket. Check that the mains voltage corresponds with
that stated on the rating plate on the machine.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use
the machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
WARNING! Do not wash the machine
!
with water, as water can enter the
electrical system or the engine and
cause damage to the machine or short
circuit.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operaing a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protetctive equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the OFF-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
OPERATING
• Remain at a distance from the blades when the
engine is running.

Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool´s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in
hazardous situations.
!
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the working area or in the material to be cut.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve
damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure
to vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes
in skin colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in the
fingers, hands or wrists. These
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.
Under no circumstances should you
modify the original design of the
machine without approval from the
manufacturer. Always use original spare
parts. Unauthorized modifications and/or
accessories may lead to serious injury or
death to the user or others.
