Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the
technical data and the declaration of conformity have
been measured in accordance with a standard test method
provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one
tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the
tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time.
Labels on tools
The following symbols are found on your tool:
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user
must read the instruction manual.
Do not use your saw in wet conditions
or expose it to rain.
Always wear head, hearing and eye protection.
Beware of falling objects.
Keep bystanders away.
Do not use on ladders.
Check the chain tension after every 10 minutes
of use. Adjust back to a clearance of 3 mm.
Oil the chain after every 10 minutes of use.
Warning! Do not touch chain at the chipping
ejection point.
Direction of travel of the chain.
Immediately disconnect the cable from the
mains if it is damaged or cut.
Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of this tool (see technical data). The
extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use and
marked accordingly. Up to 30 m of 1.5 mm² HO5VV-F
extension cable can be used without loss of product
performance. Before use, inspect the extension cable
for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the
extension cable if damaged or defective. When using
a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Residual risk
Despite the application of the relevant safety regulations and
the implementation of safety measures, certain residual risks
are inherent to the use of wood cutting saws and cannot be
avoided. These are:
Risk of injury arising from contact with moving parts,
sharp parts, hot parts, branches or debris falling on the
operator, bystanders or property, debris ejected by the
tool.
Risk of injury arising from un-intended use, falling from
a ladder or working position in a tree, damage to the
supply cable, use of the tool in wet or hazardous
locations, use of the product by young children or infirm
persons, failure to wear suitable personal protection or
suitable clothing, breathing dust generated from cutting
wood.
The above risks have been addressed by including warnings
in the safety instructions and/or markings applied to the tool.
The vibration value stated in this manual is in accordance
with the standardised test of EN60745. The operator should
not be exposed to high levels of vibration for extended
periods of time. The vibration emissions of this tool are
below 5m/s and are within the limits set by 2002/44/EC for
continuous operation in an 8 hour day. The actual operating
conditions may vary or possibly increase the vibration level
from those recorded in the standardised test.
