Proper Clothing - Makita EA3600F Manuel D'emploi Et De Sécurité

WARNING!
Children should never be allowed to use a chain saw.
Bystanders, especially children and animals should not be allowed
in the area where a chain saw is in use (Fig. 1).
Never let the saw run unattended.
Store it in a locked place away from children. Fill the fuel tank to
7/8 th full (see storing the saw).
Do not lend your chain saw without this Owner's and Safety
Manual. Be sure that anyone using your saw understands the
information given.
Proper use of a chain saw involves
1. the operator
2. the saw
3. the use of the saw.
The operator
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not
under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol), which might
impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
WARNING!
Prolonged use of chain saws exposing the operator to vibrations
may produce Whitefinger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon).
This phenomenon reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate
temperature, produces numbness and burning sensations and
may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All MAKITA saws are therefore provided with an antivibration
system which is essential for those using chain saws on a regular
or sustained basis. Antivibration systems do not guarantee that
you will not sustain Whitefinger disesase, however, they reduce
this danger considerably. Nevertheless, continual and regular
users should observe their hands and fingers and in case of any
abnormal symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.

Proper clothing

Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom
of movement. Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs, neckties, jewelry,
flared or cuffed pants, or anything that could become entangled with
the saw or brush. Wear overalls or jeans with a reinforced cutting
resistant insert (Fig. 3).
Protect your hands with gloves when handling saw and saw chain.
Heavy-duty, nonslip gloves improve your grip and protect your hands.

Good footing is most important in chain saw work. Wear sturdy boots
with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety boots are recommended.
Proper eye protection is a must. Non-fogging, vented goggles and a
face screen is recommended. Their use reduces the risk of eye and
facial injury.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to protect your head. Chain saw
noise may damage your hearing. Always wear noise protection
equipment (ear plugs or ear muffs) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked
regularly.

The saw
Parts of the chain saw: illustrations and description of parts see
chapter "DESIGNATION OF PARTS".
Never modify a chain saw in any way. Only attachments supplied
by MAKITA or expressly approved by MAKITA for use with the
specific saw are authorized.
Bow guide bars substantially increase the potential for kickback
and severe or fatal injury due to the greater kickback zone of the
bow design. Bow guide bars are not recommended for use on
MAKITA chain saws nor are they approved by the ANSI B175.1-
2012 chain saw safety standard.
