Additional Safety Instructions For Circular Saws; Residual Risks - Stanley FATMAX SFMCS550 Manual De Instrucciones

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 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 Instructions for
Circular Saws
● Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
● Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possible injury.
● Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
● Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
● Avoid overheating of blade tips.
● Install the dust extraction port onto the saw
before use.
● Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.
● Do not use water feed attachments.
● Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

Residual risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
● Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These are:
● Impairment of hearing.
● Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the
rotating saw blade.
● Risk of injury when changing the blade.
● Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
● Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
Safety of others
● This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
(Original instructions)
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the tool by a person responsible for
their safety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method provided by EN62841
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The
declared vibration emission value may also be used in a
@
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
