Further safety instructions for all saws -
Guard function
Check guard for proper closing
1.
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.
Check the operation and condition of
2.
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.
Assure that the base plate of the
3.
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.
Always observe that the guard is
4.
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.
Additional circular saw safety warnings
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
¢
re-placed by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
Do not use any grinding discs.
¢
Use only blades with diameters
¢
corresponding to the label on the product.
When cutting wood or other materials which
¢
may create dusts that are hazardous to
health, always connect a suitable, certified
vacuum extractor device.
Wear a dust mask when cutting wood.
¢
Use only the recommended blades.
¢
Always wear ear protectors.
¢
Do not allow the teeth of the blade to
¢
overheat.
When cutting plastic, avoid melting the
¢
plastic.
Saw blade safety warnings
Only use saw blades if you have knowledge
¢
of how to use and handle them.
Pay attention to the maximum rotational
¢
speed. The maximum rotational speed marked
on the saw blade shall not be exceeded.
Do not use working saw blades which are
¢
cracked. Scrap of saw blades which bodies
are cracked. Repairing is not permitted.
Clamping surfaces shall be cleaned to
¢
remove dirt, grease, oil and water.
Do not use reducing washers / rings to "make
¢
up" bore sizes on saw blades.
Ensure that flanges for securing the accessory
¢
have the same diameter and at least 1/3 of
the cutting diameter.
Ensure flanges are parallel to each other.
¢
Handle saw blades with care. Store them in
¢
the original packaging or in special boxes.
Wear gloves for handling and to reduce
injuries.
Ensure all guards are correctly fixed before
¢
using saw blades.
Before use, make sure that the saw blade
¢
complies with the technical requirements of
the product and is correctly fixed.
A longer period of use may lead to
¢
overheating of the blade tips. Therefore take
breaks of approx. 15 minutes on a regular
basis to let the blade tips cool down.
Safety instructions for abrasive
cutting-off operations - Cut-off machine
safety warnings
The guard provided with the tool
1.
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.
Use only diamond cut-off wheels
2.
for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory
3.
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.
