Safety Instructions For Circular Saws; Additional Safety Instructions For Circular Saws - Evolution STEALTH 185 Instrucciones Originales

while the blades are in motion or kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If
saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise
the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts
while cutting it may cause binding and kickback.
f) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce a narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a "plunge
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that
can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CIRCULAR SAWS
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw if
lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower
guard is covering the blade before
placing saw down on a bench or the floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in
its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the
blade to stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
a) Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS)
saw blades.
b) Inspect the machine and the blade
before each use. Do not use deformed,
cracked, worn or otherwise damaged blades.
c) Never use the saw without the original
guard protection system. Do not lock
the moving guard in the open position.
Ensure that the guard operates freely
without jamming.
d) Only use blades that comply with the
characteristics specified in this manual.
Before using accessories, always compare
the maximum allowed RPM of the
accessory with the RPM of the machine.
e) Do not use any abrasive wheels.
f) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance
with the markings.
(3.4) WARNING: If any parts are missing, do
not operate your machine until the missing
parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule
could result in serious personal injury.
