Husqvarna WS 462 Manual De Usuario

6 – 

English

Do not use the machine without first reading and 
understanding the contents of this Operator’s Manual.

•

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk 
alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect 
your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

•

Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions 
under the heading Personal protective equipment.

•

Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all 
fixtures are properly tightened.

•

Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, 
maintenance and service instructions described in this 
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must 
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See 
instructions under the heading Maintenance.

•

Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly that they 
function as they should. The machine must not be run with 
defective or disassembled safety equipment.

•

Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first 
ensuring that they have understood the contents of the 
operator’s manual.

•

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.

•

Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, 
which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.

•

Always switch off the power to the hydraulic unit and 
disconnect the hoses to the saw unit 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 unauthorised persons.

•

Use the cases provided to store the equipment.

•

All operators shall be trained in the use of the machine. 
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the operators 
receive training.

•

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 switching off the hydraulic unit and disconnecting the 
hydraulic hoses running to the saw unit.

•

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 hydraulic hoses 
are in full working order.

•

Keep the hydraulic hoses and couplings free from dirt.

•

Do not misuse hoses.

•

Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn or damaged.

•

Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the 
machine and that the hydraulic couplings lock as intended 
before pressurising the hydraulic system. The couplings 
are locked by turning the outer sleeve on the female 
coupling so that the slot moves away from the ball.

•

Never use the hydraulic hoses to lift the saw.

•

Check the machine, couplings and hydraulic hoses daily 
for leakage. A rupture or leak can cause a ”hydraulic fluid 
injection” in the body or result in other serious physical 
injury.

•

Never disconnect the hydraulic hoses without first shutting 
off and disconnecting the hydraulic unit and ensuring the 
motors have stopped completely.

•

Do not exceed the specified hydraulic fluid flow or 
pressure for the tool being used. Excessive pressure or 
flow can result in rupturing.

•

Hoses that are marked and approved as electrically non 
conductive must be used when using hydraulic tools on or 
in the vicinity of electrical cables. The use of other types 
of hoses can result in serious physical injury or even 
death.
