Important Safety Warnings; General Safety - EarthWise CS30116 Manual Del Operador

TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY:
Before any use, be sure everyone using this tool reads and
understands all safety instructions and other information contained
in this manual.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS – Don't use chain saw in
rain, damp or wet locations. Do not operate chain saw in gaseous
or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark,
and the sparks might ignite fumes.
DRESS PROPERLY – Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
USE SAFETY GLASSES –Wear safety glasses with side shields
or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard
when operating this product. Use face or dust mask if environment
is dusty.
DANGER: Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Keep both
hands on handles when power is on.
USE RIGHT APPLIANCE – Do not use appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit (s) or outlet (s) to be used for the
chain saw. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used.
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord be sure it is heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOWA. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power
cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use. Make the knot as
shown, then connect the plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord.
This method can also be used to tie two extension
cords together.

WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DOUBLE INSULATION – Double Insulation is a concept in safety in
electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
NOTE: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal insulation.
Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
DISCONNECT CHAIN SAW from the power supply when not in use
or when servicing or cleaning. Do not leave unattended.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING – Don't carry the chain saw
with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
CAUTION: Never use guard as a handle. Never grasp the unit by
the guard. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors, children and pets should
stay at a safe distance from the work area.
STORE IDLE CHAIN SAW INDOORS – When not in use, the chain
saw should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place,
out of reach of children.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove cut material or hold material to be
cut when blades are moving. Make sure switch is off when clearing
jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the saw.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after turned off
DON'T FORCE CHAIN SAW – It will do the job better and with less
likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
STAY ALERT – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate chain saw when you are tired or under the influence of
medications, drugs or alcohol.
DANGER: If chain jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT
TOUCH THE BAR AND CHAIN! THEY CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Release the unit
in the safest manner possible. Disconnect the damaged electrical
cord or line from the power source. If possible, do so safely. If in
doubt, call an electrician or the electrical contractor for assistance.
Failure to heed this Danger will result in serious personal injury and
possible death.
LIGHTING - Only operate saw in daylight or good artificial light.
DON'T OVERREACH – Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
DANGER: Make sure power source is removed when clearing
jammed material from blades.
