Safety Warnings For Battery Pack - Ratio PRO XF20-S Manual De Instrucciones

the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is 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 so that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, 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) 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 the 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 SAWS (CIRCULAR
SAW WITH INNER PENDULUM GUARD)
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts." Raise the lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as the 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 the 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 SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR CIRCULAR
SAW
1. Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended
for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box
