Causes And Operator Prevention Of Kickback; Safety Warnings For Battery Pack - Worx WG381 Manual De Instrucciones

chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF
KICKBACK:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
- Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
- Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended
tip contact and enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.

- Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred battery
pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Do not remove battery pack from its
original packaging until required for use.
e) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
f) In the event of battery leaking, do not
allow the liquid to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.
g) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on
the battery back and equipment and ensure
correct use.
h) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
i) Keep battery pack out of the reach of
children.
j) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
k) Always purchase the battery pack
recommended by the device manufacturer
for the equipment.
l) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
m) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a
clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
n) Battery pack needs to be charged before
use. Always use the correct charger and
refer to the manufacturer's instructions
or equipment manual for proper charging
instructions.
o) Do not leave battery pack on prolonged
charge when not in use.
p) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
q) Battery pack gives its best performance
when it is operated at normal room
temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
r) When disposing of battery packs, keep
battery packs of different electrochemical
systems separate from each other.
s) Recharge only with the charger specified
by Worx. Do not use any charger other than
that specifically provided for use with the
equipment. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
t) Retain the original product literature for
future reference.
