Fuels / Refuelling; Putting Into Operation - Makita DPC6410 Manuel D'instructions Et De Sécurité

Always wear safety shoes or boots (G) with steel toes, non-skid
-
soles, and leg protectors when working with the Power Cut.
Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer provide protection
against cuts and ensure a secure footing.
Always wear a work suit (H) of tough material with sufficient
-
flame-retardant qualities whenever working with the cutoff
saw.

Fuels / Refuelling

Go to a safe, level place before refuelling. Never refuel while
-
on scaffolding, on heaps of material, or in similar places!
- Switch off the engine before refuelling the Power Cut.
- Do not smoke or work near open fires (6).
- Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
- Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin
should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear
protective gloves when refuelling (not the regular work gloves!).
Frequently clean and change protective clothes. Do not breathe
in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapours can be hazardous to
your health.
- Do not spill fuel. If a spill occurs, clean off the Power Cut im-
mediately. Fuel should not come in contact with clothes. If your
clothes have come in contact with fuel, change them at once.
- Ensure that no fuel oozes into the soil (environmental protection).
Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will ac-
cumulate near the floor (explosion hazard).
- Ensure to firmly tighten the screw cap of the fuel tank.
- Before starting the engine, move to a location at least 3 meters
(approx. 3 1/4 yards) from where you fuelled the Power Cut
(7), but not within the extended swing range of the cutting disc
(direction of sparks).
- Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only
as much as will be consumed in the near future.
- When making up the gasoline/oil mixture, always put the oil in
the mixing container first, and then the gasoline.
- Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and
storage of fuel.
Keep fuel away from children!

Putting into operation

Do not work on your own. There must be someone around
-
in case of an emergency (within shouting distance).
- Observe all anti-noise regulations when working in residential
areas.
Never use the Power Cut near inflammable materials or
-
explosive gases! The Power Cut can create sparks leading
to fire or explosion!
- Make sure that all persons within 30 meters (33 yards), such
as other workers, are wearing protective gear (see "Protective
Equipment") (8). Children and other unauthorized persons must
remain more than 30 meters away from the working area. Keep
an eye out for animals as well (9).
- Before starting work the Power Cut must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the pre-
scriptions. In particular, make sure that the cutting wheel is in
good condition(replace immediately if torn, damaged or bent),
the cutting wheel is properly mounted, the protective hood is
locked in place, the hand guard is properly mounted, the V-belt
has the proper tension, the throttle moves easily and the half-
throttle lock button functions properly, the grips are clean and
dry, and the combination switch functions properly (Start/Stop
(I/O) switch, choke).
- Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspec-
tion. Never use the Power Cut when it is not completely as-
sembled.
