Guard Function; Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - Worx WX523 Manual Original

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) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAW

GUARD FUNCTION

a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw
if guard does not move freely and
enclose the blade instantly. Never
clamp or tie the guard so that the
blade is exposed. If saw is accidentally
dropped, guard may be bent. Check to
make sure that guard moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of
the guard return spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced
before use. Guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or
a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the "plunge
cut" when the blade bevel setting is not
at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is
covering the blade before placing
saw down on bench or 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.

RULES FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
1) Always wear a dust mask, hearing
protection and eye protection.
2) Only use saw blades recommended in the
specification.
3) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance
with the markings.
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY
WARNINGS
a) The guard provided with the tool must
be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator.
Position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels
for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
C) The rated speed of the accessory
must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced
wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a
