Work Safety - Husqvarna WS 482 HF Manuel D'utilisation

Work safety

Do not use the machine without first reading and
understanding the contents of this Operator's Manual.
Work area safety
• Always check the back of the wall where the blade comes
out when cutting through. Secure, cordon off and make
sure that no people can be injured or materials damaged.
• 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.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the working area or in the material to be cut.
• Check that electrical cables within the working area are
not live.
• Make sure that no people or animals come closer than 4
m (15 ft) when the machine is running.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions,
e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Always ensure you have a safe and stable working
position.
Electrical safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks
!
from electrically powered machines. Avoid
unfavourable weather conditions and body
contact with lightning conductors and metal
objects. Always follow the instructions in the
Operator's manual to avoid damage.
• Never carry the machine by holding the cable and never
pull the plug by pulling the cable.
• Keep all cables away of water, oil and sharp edges. Make
sure the cable is not pinched in doors, fences or the like.
It can cause the object to become live.
• Check that the cables are intact and in good condition.
Use cable intended for outdoor use.
• Never use the machine if any cable is damaged, but hand
it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
socket.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
Personal safety
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.

OPERATING
• Never saw in such a way that you cannot easily reach the
emergency stop on the remote control or on the power
pack. See power pack manual.
• Make sure that there is always another person close at
hand when you use the machines, so that you can call for
help if an accident should occur.
• People that need to be in close proximity of the machine
must wear hearing protection as the sound level when
cutting exceeds 85 dB(A).
• Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts,
which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.
• 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.
• Be careful as clothing, long hair, and jewellery can get
caught in moving parts.
Use and care
• Check that the blade guard is not damaged and that it has
been fitted correctly.
• Never use blades other than original blades designed for
the machine. Check with your Husqvarna dealer to see
which blades are best suited for your usage.
• Never use a damaged or worn blade.
• Never mount or dismount the blade or blade guard without
first pulling out the power cable running to the saw unit.
• Never pull out the power cable without first switching off
the power pack and waiting for the engine to come to a
complete halt.
• Never cut without using the blade guard.
• Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when
the machine is started.
• Remain at a distance from the blade when the engine is
running.
• Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades
and increases their life and prevents dust build-up.
• Check that all couplings, connections and cables are
intact and free from dirt.
• Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start
sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without
danger to persons or the machine.
• Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks before cutting.
The heavy weight of cut material can cause extensive
damage if it is not moved under controlled conditions.
Transport and storage
• Always switch of the power pack and pull out the electric
cable before moving the equipment.
• Dismount the blade and blade guard before transport and
storage.
• Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out of
reach of children and unauthorized persons.
• If there is a risk of freezing, the machine must be drained
of any remaining water coolant.
• Use the cases provided to store the equipment.
