No utilitzeu eines elèctriques en atmosferes explosives, com ara en presència de líquids, gasos o pols inflamables. Les eines elèctriques creen espurnes que poden encendre la pols o els fums. Mantingueu els nens i els vianants allunyats mentre feu servir una eina elèctrica. Les distraccions poden fer que perdeu el control.
• Seguretat elèctrica: Els endolls de les eines elèctriques han de coincidir amb la presa de corrent. No modifiqueu mai l'endoll de cap manera. No utilitzeu cap endoll adaptador amb eines elèctriques posades a terra. Els endolls no modificats i els endolls coincidents reduiran el risc de descàrrega elèctrica. Eviteu el contacte corporal amb superfícies connectades a terra o a terra, com ara canonades, radiadors, estufes i neveres. Hi ha un major risc de descàrrega elèctrica si el vostre cos està connectat a terra o a terra.

No feu servir una eina elèctrica mentre esteu cansats o sota la influència de drogues, alcohol o medicaments. Un moment de desatenció mentre feu servir eines elèctriques pot provocar lesions personals greus. Feu servir equip de protecció individual. Porteu sempre protecció ocular. L'equip de protecció com ara una màscara antipols, calçat de seguretat antilliscant, casc o protecció auditiva utilitzats per a les condicions adequades reduirà les lesions personals.

  • Wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear.
  • Never allow children to operate the chainsaw.
  • Before each use, inspect the chainsaw for damaged parts, loose screws, or any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
