Chainsaw Names And Terms; Intended Use; Residual Risks - DeWalt DCM575 Übersetzt Von Den Originalanweisungen

EnGLIsh
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay
on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury.

Chainsaw Names and Terms

• Bucking - The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log into lengths.
• Motor Brake - A device used to stop the saw chain when the
trigger is released.
• Chain Saw Powerhead - A chain saw without the saw chain
and guide bar.
• Drive Sprocket or Sprocket - The toothed part that drives the
saw chain.
• Felling - The process of cutting down a tree.
• Felling Back Cut - The final cut in a tree felling operation made
on the opposite side of the tree from the notching cut.
• Front Handle - The support handle located at or toward the
front of the chain saw.
• Front Hand Guard - A structural barrier between the front
handle of a chain saw and the guide bar, typically located
close to the hand position on the front handle.
• Guide Bar - A solid railed structure that supports and guides
the saw chain.
• Guide Bar Scabbard - Enclosure fitted over guide bar to prevent
tooth contact when saw is not in use.
• Kickback - The backward or upward motion, or both of the guide
bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the top area
of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
• Kickback, Pinch - The rapid pushback of the saw which can
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw

40
chain near the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
contacts an object, such as a log or branch.
• Limbing - Removing the branches from a fallen tree
• Low-Kickback Chain - A chain that reduces the kickback
performance requirements. (when tested on a representative
sample of chain saws.)
• Normal Cutting Position - Those positions assumed in
performing the bucking and felling cuts.
• Notching Undercut - A notch cut in a tree that directs the tree's fall.
• Rear Handle - The support handle located at or toward the
rear of the saw.
• Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - A guide bar which has been
demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
• Replacement Saw Chain - A chain that reduces the kickback
performance requirements when tested with specific
chain saws.
• Saw Chain - A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the
wood,and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the
guide bar.
• Ribbed Bumper - The ribs used when felling or bucking to pivot
the saw and maintain position while sawing.
• Switch - A device that when operated will complete or interrupt
an electrical power circuit to the motor of the chain saw.
• Switch Linkage - The mechanism that transmits motion from

Intended Use

Your D WALT DCM575 Chainsaw is ideal for pruning
e
applications and cutting logs up to 35 cm in diameter.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D WALT charger is double insulated in
e
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the D
service organisation.
