Work Safety - Husqvarna PP 440 HF Manuel D'utilisation

Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can
face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. If
you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek
expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel
unsure of!

Work safety

Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed.
Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make
sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of
the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused
on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal
injury or death.
• Do not use the machine in environments where there is a
risk of explosion.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical wires are routed in
the work piece or in the working area.
• Check that electrical cables within the working area are
not live.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Do not use the machine in wet or humid surroundings,
close to water, in the rain or snow.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold.

circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30

OPERATING
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition. Always use extension cables that are
approved for outdoor use.
• Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged,
but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord while
it is rolled up.
• Never drag the machine by means of the cord and never
pull out the plug by pulling the cord.
• Keep all cords and extension cords away from water, oil
and sharp edges. Make sure the cord is not pinched in
doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can cause the object
to become live.

influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that
could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or
judgement.

OFF-position.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work breaks.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person
close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to
assemble the machine, you can also get help if an
accident should occur.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose
control of the machine. For this reason, always remain
concentrated and focused on the task.

emergency stop.
Use and care

• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with
the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage
the machine.
• Always switch off the machine before you move it.

45°C or to direct sunlight.
• Check that all couplings, connections and cables are
intact and free from dirt.
• Never pull out the power cable without first switching off
the power pack and waiting for the engine to come to a
complete halt. If an emergency situation should arise
anyway, push the red emergency stop button on the power
pack or the stop button on the remote control.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all
fixtures are properly tightened.
