Stihl HTA 65 Notice D'emploi page 48

English
Note when reaching the end of a cut that
the machine is no longer supported by
the guide bar in the cut. You have to take
the full weight of the machine since it
might otherwise go out of control.
Always pull the machine out of the cut
with the chain running.
Make sure your saw chain does not
touch any foreign materials: Stones,
nails, etc. may be flung off and damage
the saw chain.
If the rotating chain makes contact with
a rock or other solid object there is a risk
of sparking which may cause easily
combustible material to catch fire under
certain circumstances. Dry plants and
scrub are also easily combustible,
especially in hot and dry weather
conditions. If there is a risk of fire, do not
use your pole pruner near combustible
materials, dry plants or scrub. Always
contact your local forest authority for
information on a possible fire risk.
Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Maintenance and Repairs
Always move the retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery before carrying
out any repairs or maintenance work on
the power tool. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.

Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Observe sharpening instructions – keep
the chain and guide bar in good
condition at all times for safe and correct
handling of the machine. The chain must
be properly sharpened, tensioned and
well lubricated.
Always change the chain, guide bar and
sprocket in good time.
Store chain lubricant in properly
labelled, safety-type canisters only.
Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do
not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing
as necessary.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Store the machine in a dry, locked
location with the retaining latch on ƒ
