Residual risks

Residual risks may also arise owing
to the design of the machine relat-
ing to its intended purpose even if
the machine is used properly and in
compliance with all relevant safety
regulations; e.g.:
Touching the saw blade in the vicinity of the
starting aperture underneath the base plate.
Touching the part of the saw blade that pro-
trudes underneath the workpiece when cutting.
Touching the following rotating parts from the
side: saw blade, clamping flange and flange
screw.
Machine kicks back if the blade gets stuck in the
workpiece.
Breakage of the saw blade and risk of the blade
or pieces of the blade being hurled away.
Hearing can be impaired when working for long
periods without ear protectors.
Emission of wood dust: a health hazard when
working for long periods without dust extraction.
