Electrical Safety - Worx JAWSAW WG307 Mode D'emploi

on and off.
Do not operate JawSaw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the
saw chain stops moving when the trigger is
released.
16) Power supply
Connect JawSaw to correct voltage, that is, be
sure that the voltage supplied is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
17) wArNiNG: To minimize the risk of eye
injury, always use eye protection.
wArNiNG: 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 lightning
fast 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 injury to user. The following
precautions should be followed to minimize
kickback.
(1) Grip saw firmly. Hold the JawSaw firmly
with both hands when the motor is
running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the JawSaw handles.
(2) Do not over reach.
(3) Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
(4) Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact
a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.
(5) Use devices such as low kickback chain,
guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and
special guide bars that reduce the risks
associated with kickback.
(6) Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.

ELEcTricAL SAFETy

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in anyway.
Unmodified and matching plugs greatly
reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Ground Fault Interrupter (GFIC) protection
should be provided on the circuits
Guarded electric chain saw
or outlets to be used for the outdoor
appliance.
3. Use the extension cord to be a type
acceptable for outdoor use, for example
– SJTW, and the size should be 18AWG
or larger. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Make sure the
extension cord is in good condition before
using; and keep the cord away from the
cutting area and to position cord so that
it will not be caught on branches, and the
like, during cutting.
4. 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
electrical shock.
5. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off position before plugging in.
6. Disconnect JawSaw when not in use,
before servicing, and when changing
accessories and attachments, such as
guards and saw chain.
7. Extension cord! Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table 1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
