GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term power tool in the warnings refer to your electric

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you

to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with grounded power tools.

risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body

is grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c) 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 energizing power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the power

tools operation.

If damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

Cordless Chainsaw EN

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions and in the

manner intended for the particular type of power

tool, 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 a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer.

tool is maintained.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY

WARNINGS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw

chain when the Chain saw is operating. Before

you start the Chain saw, make sure the saw chain

is not contacting anything.

A moment of inattention

while operating Chain saws may cause entanglement

of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

2. Always hold the Chain saw with your right hand

on the rear handle and your left hand on the front

handle.

Holding the Chain saw with a reversed hand

configuration increases the risk of personal injury and

should never be done.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Saw chains

contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts

of the power tool live and could give the operator an

electric shock.

4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,

legs and feet is recommended.

Adequate protective

clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or

accidental contact with the saw chain.

5. Do not operate a Chain saw in a tree.

Operation of

a Chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal

injury.

6. Always keep proper footing and operate the

Chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure

and level surface.

Slippery or unstable surfaces such

as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of

the Chain saw.

7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be

alert for spring back.

When the tension in the wood

fibers is released the spring loaded limb may strike the

operator and/or throw the Chain saw out of control.

8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and

saplings.

The slender material may catch the saw

chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off

balance.

9. Carry the Chain saw by the front handle with the

Chain saw switched off and away from your body.

hen transporting or storing the Chain saw always

apply the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the Chain

saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact

with the moving saw chain.

10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain

tensioning and changing accessories.

Improperly

tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or

increase the chance for kickback.

11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease.

Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss

of control.

12. Cut wood only. Do not use Chain saw for purposes

not intended. For example: do not use Chain saw

for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building

materials.

Use of the 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions concerning the proper techniques for

basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting

1. Felling a tree

When bucking and felling operations are being performed

by two or more persons at the same time, the felling

operations should be separated from the bucking

operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the

tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner

that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or

cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact

with any utility line, the company should be notified

immediately.

The Chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of

the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after

it is felled.

An escape path should be planned and cleared as

necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should

extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line

of fall as illustrated in Figure 1.

Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the

tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction

to judge which way the tree will fall.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire

from the tree.

2. Notching undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular

to the direction of falls as illustrated in Figure 2. Make the

lower horizontal notching cut (W) first. This will help to

avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when

the second notch (X) is being made.

3. Felling back cut

Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 2’’ higher than the

horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure 2. Keep the

felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut.

Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act

as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting

and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the

hinge.

As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin

to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in

desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw

chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete

and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium (Z) to open

the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall ( ).

When the tree begins to fall remove the Chain saw from

the cut, stop the motor, put the Chain saw down, then use

the retreat path planned ( ). Be alert for overhead limbs

falling and watch your footing.(See Fig.1)

4. Limbing a tree

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When

limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the

ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated in

Figure 3. Branches under tension should be cut from the

bottom up to avoid binding the Chain saw.

5. Bucking a log

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make

sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed

on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and

supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the

simple directions for easy cutting.

When the log is supported along its entire length as

illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top (overbuck),

avoid contacting ground as this will greatly reduce the

chain sharpness.

INTENDED USE

The Chainsaw is intended for sawing of trees, tree trunks,

branches, wooden beams, planks, etc. Cuts can be sawed

with or across the grain. This product is not suitable for

sawing mineral materials.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING! Do not install the battery pack

before it has been completely assembled.

Always use gloves when handling the chain.

CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY

1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain cover

by turning the chain tensioning knob in a counter-

clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)

2. Place the Chainsaw on a solid, level surface.

3. Use only genuine Worx chains or those recommended

for Guide Bar.

4. Slide the chain in the slot around the guide bar. Ensure

the chain is in correct running direction by comparing

it to the chain icon on the guide bar, or referring to the

chain direction symbol found on the saw body. Ensure

the bar tensioning plate is facing outward. (See Fig.

A2)

5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the

fastening bar bolt and the two bar locating tabs on the

bar pad fit into the keyway of the opening on the guide

bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)

6. Assure all parts are seated properly and hold chain

and guide bar in a level position. Make sure the drive

links are fully seated in the drive sprocket (See Fig. C1),

avoiding a kink as shown in Fig. C2. If kink occurs, pick

up on the chain at the guide bar just ahead of the kink

and then pull the kink out.

NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of

kinks.

7. Fit the chain cover and tighten the chain cover by

turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is

tight. (See Fig. D)

8. The chain will stretch while cutting and lose proper

tension. When the chain becomes loose, completely

unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn the knob

around three (3) full turns in a counter-clockwise

direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to

properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps

6-7 listed above.

WARNING The chain is not yet tensioned.

Tensioning the chain applies as described

under “TENSIONING CHAIN”. The chain now needs to

be inspected to make sure it is properly tensioned.

TENSIONING CHAIN (See Fig. E1, E2)

NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain

tension frequently when first used and tighten when the

chain becomes loose around the guide bar.

WARNING:

● Removing the battery pack before adjusting saw

chain tension.

● Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

● Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose

chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose

chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This

may injure operator and damage chain. A loose

chain will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear

rapidly.

1. Place the Chainsaw on any suitable flat surface.

2. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is

hand tight.

NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while

the chain tensioning knob is being turned in a

clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet mechanism

prevents the chain tension from loosening.

3. Tilt the saw forward (See E1) where the guide bar tip

is pushed in an downward direction. This will remove

slack from the chain.

4. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob by turning it

clockwise.

5. Double check the tension set by the automatic chain

tensioning knob. The correct chain tension is reached

when the chain can be raised approx. Half the drivelink

depth from the guide bar in the center. This should be

done by using one hand to raise the chain against the

weight of the machine. (See Fig. E2)

NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when it can be

lifted off of the Guide Bar and the drivelink is within the

rail of the Guide Bar.

NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and lose

proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,

completely unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn

the knob around three full turns in a counter-clockwise

direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to

properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4

listed above.

LUBRICATION SEE FIG. F

IMPORTANT The Chainsaw is not filled with

oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use.

Never operate the Chainsaw without chain oil or at

an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive

damage to the product.

NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend

on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is

automatically oiled during operation.

FILLING OIL TANK

WARNING: Removing the battery pack before

filling the oil tank.

1. Set Chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap

facing upward.

2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth and

unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.

3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.

4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap

and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.

IMPORTANT To allow venting of the oil tank,

small breather channels are provided between

the oil filler cap and the strainer, to prevent leakage,

and ensure machine is left in a horizontal position

when not in use.

It is important to use bar and chain lubricant (not

provided) that is formulated to perform over a wide

temperature range with no dilution required.This can

be found at the location where you purchased this

saw or your local hardware store. Do not use dirty,

used or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may

occur to the bar or chain. Use of non approved oil will

Cordless Chainsaw EN

void the warranty.

Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician

immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store

away from heat or open flame.

CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC OILER

Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked

by running the Chainsaw and pointing the tip of the

guide chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on

the ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on the

cardboard, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there

is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact Worx

customer service agent or Worx approved service agent.

CAUTION Do not touch the ground with the

chain. Ensure safety clearance of 16”.

When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by

means of a protective circuit. Each battery must be fully

charged before the first use.

In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack

may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the

battery to cool down before recharging.

Note: Always fully charge the two batteries at same time.

More details can be found in charger’s manual.

4. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. I)

Depress the battery pack release button to remove the

2 battery packs from your tool. After recharging, insert

the 2 battery packs into the battery ports. A simple push

and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard.

Check to see if the battery is fully secured.

Note:

• When removing the battery pack, hold it firmly to

avoid dropping and injury.

• This machine will only run when 2 batteries are

installed. It is recommended to use the same two

batteries and charge the two batteries at the

same time.

• When you use two batteries with different power,

the machine will only run to the lower common

denominator.

5. POWER INDICATOR LIGHT (See Fig. J)

MPORTANT:

When only one light is illuminated, your battery is

overly discharged, even though the machine may

still be capable to work. Continuing to operate

your machine with the battery in this discharged

condition may reduce the life and performance of

6. SWITCHING ON AND OFF SEE FIG. K

ATTENTION Check the battery packs before

using your cordless tool. Only use the battery

pack listed in the accessories section.

For switching on the tool, press the lock-out button,

then fully press the on/off switch and hold in this position.

The lock-out button can now be released.

For switching off, release the on/off switch.

NOTE: The chain brake must be activated in order for the

saw to be switched on.

7. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER SEE FIG. L

The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated

through the front hand guard, when kickback occurs.

Chain stops immediately.

The following function check should be carried out at

regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards

the operator (position ) to deactivate chain brake. To

activate the chain brake, push front hand guard forwards

(position ).

NOTE If the saw is unable to start, even though it is

assembled properly and working with fully charged

battery packs, then you should check if the chain brake

lever is in the correct position (position ).

8. CUTTING

Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check the Oil

Level Window prior to starting and regularly

during operation (See Fig. M). Refill oil when oil level

is low. A full oil tank will last approx. 12 minutes of

cutting depending on sawing intensity and stops.

Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10

minutes during operation.

(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.

(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on the

ground. This will keep the chain from touching the

ground as it cuts through the log.

Touching the ground while the chain is moving is

dangerous and will dull the chain.

(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to

grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle.

Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around

saw handles. (See Fig. N)

(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder

width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both

feet.

(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out button

completely in with the right thumb and squeeze the

trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will

turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at full

speed before starting a cut.

(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain against

the wood. The wood should be as close to the saw

body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid

possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of

saw.

(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put

excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its work.

The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

intended.

(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at

full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off switch.

Make sure the chain has stopped before setting the

saw down.

(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working area

until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion and a

steady cutting rate.

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback

Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.

However, kickback can still occur with this saw.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use

firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw

handles.

• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they

work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your

body from being in direct line with chain.

• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain

is moving.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only

cut one log at a time.

• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut

(boring into wood using guide bar nose).

• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may

pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.

• Use only the low-kickback chain and guide bar that

were supplied with this Chainsaw or recommended.

• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with

proper tension.

How to use Saw Safely

1. Use the Chainsaw only with secure footing.

2. Hold the Chainsaw at the right-hand side of your body

(See Fig. O).

3. The chain must be running at full speed before it

makes contact with the wood.

4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto the

wood before starting to cut.

5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while

cutting. (See Fig. P)

6. Do not operate the Chainsaw with arms fully extended,

attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or

stand on a ladder while sawing (See Fig. Q).

Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height

CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION SEE FIG. R

WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under

tension, use extreme caution. Be alert

for wood springing back. When wood tension is

released, limb could spring back and strike operator

causing severe injury or death.

When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the

cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the

log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in

order to avoid contact of the chainsaw with the ground.

When sawing logs supported on only one end, start the

cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log

(underbuck) and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to

avoid log splitting or jamming of the chainsaw.

SAW MAINTENANCE

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper

cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar maintenance can

reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after

each use. This will increase the service life of your saw.

Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can

increase with each sharpening.

Cordless Chainsaw EN

MAINTENANCE AND

STORAGE OF CHAINSAW

1. Remove the battery pack

• When not in use

• Before moving from one place to another

• Before servicing

• Before changing accessories or attachments, such as

saw chain and guard

2. Inspect chainsaw before and after each use.

Check saw closely if guard or other part has been

damaged. Check for any damage that may affect

operator safety or operation of saw. Check for

alignment or binding of moving parts. Check for

broken or damaged parts. Do not use chainsaw if

damage affects safety or operation. Have damage

repaired by authorized service center. To locate an

authorized service center, visit www.worx.com.

3. Maintain chainsaw with care.

• Never expose saw to rain or direct moisture.

• Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for better and

safer performance.

• Follow steps outlined in this manual to sharpen chain.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.

• Keep all screws and nuts tight.

4. When servicing, use only identical replacement

parts.

5. When not in use, always store chainsaw

• in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach

• in a dry place

• with bar and chain cover in place

Bar Maintenance

To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance is

recommended.

The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned before

storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear to be dirty.

The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is

removed.

To clean the Bar rails:

1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain. (see section

ASSEMBLY)

2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool, clear

the residue from the inner groove of the bar.

3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly

Conditions which require chain and guide bar

maintenance:

• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.

• Saw has to be forced through the cut.

• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.

Check the condition of the guide bar each time the chain

is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the chain and

make cutting difficult.

After each use, remove the battery pack, clean all sawdust

from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore square

edges and sides.

File Rail Edges

and Sides

Square

Worn Groove Correct Groove

Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn, the guide

bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating or burring of

the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary, use only the

Guide Bar specified for your saw in the repair parts list or on

the decal located on the chain saw.

Replacing Bar & Chain

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or

when chain stops. Only use replacement chain noted in

this manual.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or

damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide

bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.

Fit the bar tensioning plate tab into the new bar by

tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion (a)

must be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig. S)

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN

WARNING: Unplug chainsaw from power source

before servicing. Severe injury or death could

occur from electrical shock or body contact with

moving chain.

Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely.

A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain,

and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and

cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain

is dull.

LUBRICATE SPROCKET

WARNING Wear heavy duty gloves when

performing any maintenance or service to this

tool. Always unplug the tool before performing any

service or maintenance on this tool.

NOTE It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar when

lubricating the guide bar sprocket.

1. Clean the bar and sprocket

2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into the

lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at

the outside edge of the sprocket tip (See Fig. T).

3. To rotate the sprocket pull the chain by hand until

the ungreased side of the sprocket is in line with the

grease hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.

P65Warnings.ca.gov.

AVERTISSEMENTS

GENERAUX CONCERNANT

LA SECURITE DES OUTILS

ELECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT! Lisez et assimilez toutes les

instructions.

Le non-respect des instructions

ci-après peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique,

d’incendie et/ou de blessures graves.

Conservez tous les avertissements et instructions

pour pouvoir les consulter ultérieurement.

L’expression «outil électrique» dans tous les

avertissements énumérés ci-dessous se réfère à votre

outil électrique fonctionnant sur secteur (branché) ou à

batterie (sans-fil).

1. AIRE DE TRAVAIL

a) Veillez à ce que l’aire de travail soit propre et bien

éclairée.

Le désordre et le manque de lumière favorisent

les accidents.

b) N’utilisez pas d’outils électriques dans un milieu

présentant un risque d’explosion, par exemple

en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières

inflammables.

Les outils électriques créent des

étincelles qui pourraient enflammer les poussières ou les

2. SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE

a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent

correspondre aux prises murales. Ne jamais

modifier la fiche de quelque façon que ce soit. Ne

pas utiliser de fiches d’adaptation avec des outils

électriques mis à la terre (mis à la masse).

Des fiches

non modifiées et des prises qui leur correspondent

réduiront le risque de choc électrique.

b) Évitez tout contact corporel avec des surfaces

mises à la terre (tuyauterie, radiateurs, cuisinières,

réfrigérateurs, etc.).

Le risque de choc électrique est

plus grand si votre corps est en contact avec la terre.

c) N’exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ou

à l’eau.

La présence d’eau dans un outil électrique

augmente le risque de choc électrique.

d) Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez jamais

l’outil par son cordon et ne débranchez jamais la

fiche en tirant sur le cordon.

N’exposez pas le cordon à

la chaleur, à des huiles, à des arrêtes vives ou à des pièces

en mouvement. Un cordon endommagé augmente le

risque de choc électrique.

e) Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à

l’extérieur, utilisez un prolongateur adapté à une

utilisation en extérieur.

L’utilisation d’un cordon

adapté à une utilisation extérieure réduit le risque de

choc électrique.

f) Si vous devez utiliser un outil électrique dans un

endroit humide, utilisez un dispositif de courant

résiduel (RCD) d’alimentation protégée.

L’utilisation

d’un RCD réduit le risque de choc électrique.

3. SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES

a) Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et

faites preuve de bon sens. N’utilisez pas un outil

électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence

de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments.

Un instant

d’inattention lors de l’utilisation d’outils électriques peut

entraîner des blessures graves.

b) Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez

toujours une protection oculaire.

De l’équipement de

sécurité tel que le masque antipoussière, les chaussures

de sécurité antidérapantes, des casques durs ou des

protections antibruit utilisés dans des conditions

appropriées réduiront les blessures corporelles.

c) Évitez les démarrages accidentels. Avant d’insérer

la batterie dans l’outil, assurez-vous que son

interrupteur est en position «OFF» (Arrêt) ou

verrouillée.

Le fait de transporter un outil avec le doigt

sur la détente/l’interrupteur ou d’insérer la batterie dans

un outil dont la détente est en position «ON» (Marche)

peut causer un accident.

d) Retirer les clés de réglageavant de mettre l’outil

sous tension.

Une clé restée attachée à une partie

mobile de l’outil pourrait entraînerdes blessures

corporelles.

e) Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un

bon appui et restez en équilibre en tout temps.

Une bonne stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une

situation inattendue.

f) Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni

vêtements flottants ni bijoux.

Gardez les cheveux,

les vêtements et les gants éloignés des pièces en

mouvement. Les vêtements flottants, les bijoux ou les

cheveux longs risquent d’être happés par des pièces en

mouvement.

g) Si un sac de récupération de la poussière est fourni

avec un connecteur pour aspirateur, assurez vous

qu’il est correctement relié et utilisé de façon

appropriée.

L’utilisation de ce système réduit les

dangers physiques et physiologiques liés à la poussière.

4. UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL

a) Ne forcez pas l’outil. Utilisez l’outil approprié à la

tâche. L’outil approprié fonctionne mieux et de

façon plus sécuritaire.

Respectez aussi la vitesse de

travail qui lui est propre.

b) N’utilisez pas un outil si l’interrupteur ne le met pas

en marche ou ne peut l’arrêter.

Un outil qui ne peut

être contrôlé par l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être

réparé.

c) Débranchez la batterie de l’outil ou mettez

son interrupteur en position «OFF» (Arrêt) ou

«LOCKED» (Verrouillé) avant d’effectuer un

réglage, de changer d’accessoire ou de ranger

l’outil.

De telles mesures de sécurité préventive

réduisent le risque de démarrage accidentel de l’outil.

d) Rangez les outils hors de portée des enfants et

d’autres personnes inexpérimentées.

Les outils sont

dangereux dans les mains d’utilisateurs novices.

e) Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Soyez

attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement des

pièces en mouvement, à tout bris ou à toute autre

condition préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement de

l’outil.

Si vous constatez qu’un outil est endommagé,

faites-le réparer avant de vous en servir. De nombreux

accidents sont causés par des outils en mauvais état.

f) Les outils de coupe doivent être toujours bien

affûtés et propres.

Des outils bien entretenus, dont les

arêtes sont bien tranchantes, sont moins susceptibles de

se coincer et plus faciles à contrôler.

g) Utilisez l’outil électrique, les accessoires et les

forets etc., en conformité avec ces instructions et

de la manière conçue pour le type particulier d’outil

électrique, prend en compte les conditions de travail

et le travail qui doit être accompli.

L’emploi de l’outil

électrique pour des opérations différentes de celles pour

lesquelles il a été conçu pourrait entraîner une situation

dangereuse.

5. UTILISATION DE LA BATTERIE ET ENTRETIEN

a) Un outil à batterie avec batteries incorporées ou

une batterie séparée doit être rechargé uniquement

avec le chargeur indiqué pour la batterie.

chargeur qui peut être adéquat pour un type de batterie

peut créer un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec

une autre batterie.

b) Utiliser un outil à batterie uniquement avec la

batterie désignée.

L’emploi de toute autre batterie peut

créer un risque d’incendie.

c) Lorsque la batterie n’est pas utilisée, tenez-la

à l’écart d’autres objets métalliques tels que

trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou

2120

Tronçonneuse sans fil F

autres petits objets métalliques susceptibles

d’établir une connexion d’une borne à une autre.

court-circuitage des bornes de batterie peut causer des

étincelles, des brûlures, une explosion ou un incendie.

d) Dans le cadre de conditions d’abus, du fluide peut

être éjecté de la batterie, évitez tout contact. Si

un contact se produisait accidentellement, rincez

abondamment avec de l’eau. Si le fluide touche les

yeux, cherchez en plus de la mesure précédente

de l’aide médicale.

Le fluide éjecté de la batterie peut

causer des irritations ou des brûlures.

6. ENTRETIEN

a) Ayez votre outil électrique entretenu par un

réparateur agréé n’utilisant que des pièces de

rechange identiques.

Cela assurera que la sécurité de

l’outil électrique est maintenue.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ

POUR LA SCIE À CHAÎNE

1. Tenez la scie à chaîne bien éloignée des parties de

votre corps lorsque celle-ci est en marche. Avant

de mettre en marche la scie à chaîne, veillez à

ce qu’elle ne soit en contact avec aucun objet.

Vos vêtements peuvent s’accrocher à la scie à chaîne

ou alors votre corps peut s’y coller pendant un moment

d’inattention lors du fonctionnement du matériel.

2. Toujours tenir la poignée arrière de la scie à

chaîne avec votre main droite et la poignée avant

avec votre main gauche.

Évitez d’inverser la position

des mains, car ceci pourrait augmenter le risque de

blessure et ne doit jamais être fait.

3. Tenez l’outil électrique par ses surfaces de prise

isolées uniquement, car la chaîne de la scie peut

entrer en contact avec un câblage dissimulé ou

son propre câble.

Les chaînes de la scie qui entrent

en contact avec un câble conducteur peuvent rendre

conducteurs les pièces en métal de l’outil électrique et

causer ainsi un choc électrique à l’opérateur.

4. Portez des lunettes de sécurité et des protège-

oreilles. Des équipements de protection

supplémentaires pour la tête, les mains, les

jambes et les pieds sont recommandés.

Portez

des vêtements de protection adaptés afin de réduire les

risques de blessure par des débris volants ou d’éviter un

contact accidentel avec la chaîne de scie.

5. Évitez de faire fonctionner la scie à chaîne

lorsque vous vous trouvez sur un arbre.

Faire

fonctionner une scie à chaîne tout en haut d’un arbre

peut entraîner des blessures.

6. Gardez toujours une bonne assise et ne faites

fonctionner la scie à chaîne que lorsque vous

êtes debout sur une surface fixe, sécurisée et

plane.

Les surfaces glissantes ou instables telles que

les échelles peuvent entraîner une perte d’équilibre ou de

contrôle de la scie à chaîne.

7. Lors de la coupe d’une branche sous tension,

faites attention au retour de celle-ci.

Lorsque

la tension des fibres de bois est relâchée, la branche

semblable à un ressort peut frapper l’opérateur et/ou

rendre la scie à chaîne incontrôlable.

8. Soyez extrêmement prudent lors de la coupe de

la broussaille et des jeunes arbres.

Le matériau fin

peut être pris dans la chaîne et vous frapper ou vous faire

perdre l’équilibre.

9. Portez la scie à chaîne par la poignée avant

lorsqu’elle est en arrêt, et éloignez-la de votre

corps. Lors du transport ou du stockage de la

scie à chaîne, toujours rabattre le protecteur de

guide-chaîne.

Une manipulation appropriée de la scie

à chaîne permettra de réduire la probabilité de contact

accidentel avec la chaîne en mouvement.

10. Respectez les instructions relatives à la

lubrification, à la tension de la chaîne et au

remplacement des accessoires.

Une chaîne ayant

une tension inappropriée ou mal lubrifiée peut soit

casser ou augmenter le risque de recul.

11. Gardez les poignées sèches, propres et exemptes

d’huile et de graisse.

Les poignées contenant de la

graisse ou de l’huile sont glissantes et causent une perte

de contrôle.

12. Uniquement destinée à la coupe de bois. Évitez

d’utiliser une scie à chaîne à d’autres fins que

celles prévues.

Par exemple : évitez d’utiliser une scie à

chaîne pour couper des matières plastiques, du matériau

de maçonnerie ou des matériaux de construction autre

que le bois. L’utilisation de la scie à chaîne à d’autres

fins que celle prévue pourrait entraîner une situation

dangereuse.

CAUSES ET PRÉVENTION DU RECUL DE L’OPÉRATEUR

Un recul peut se produire lorsque le nez ou le bout de la

guide-chaîne touche un objet ou lorsque le bois se resserre

et pince la chaîne de la tronçonneuse dans la coupe.

Dans certains cas, un contact du bout peut provoquer

une réaction inverse extrêmement rapide, propulsant la

guide-chaîne vers le haut et vers l’arrière en direction de

l’opérateur. Un pincement de la chaîne de la tronçonneuse

le long de la partie supérieure de la guidechaîne peut

repousser rapidement la guide-chaîne vers l’opérateur.

Ces réactions peuvent toutes deux provoquer une perte

de contrôle de la tronçonneuse pouvant entraîner des

blessures graves pour l’utilisateur.

Ne pas compter exclusivement sur les dispositifs de

sécurité de la scie. En tant qu’utilisateur d’une scie à

chaîne, vous devez prendre des mesures nécessaires pour

effectuer vos travaux de coupe sans accident ou blessure.

Le recul est le résultat d’une mauvaise utilisation de l’outil

et/ou du non-respect des procédures ou conditions

d’utilisation, il peut être évité en respectant les précautions

indiquées ci-dessous :

- Tenez fermement l’équipement, les pouces et

les doigts refermés sur les deux poignées; vous

devez tenir la scie à chaîne avec vos deux mains

et votre corps et vos bras doivent être placés

dans une position qui vous permet de résister

aux forces de recul.

Les forces de recul peuvent

être contrôlées par l’opérateur, si les précautions

nécessaires sont prises. Évitez de lâcher la scie à

chaîne.

- Évitez de trop vous pencher en avant et de couper

à une hauteur au-dessus du niveau des épaules.

Cela permet d’éviter tout contact involontaire avec
