Personal Safety; Tool Use And Care - Kawasaki 691783 Manual De Instrucciones

Use proper extension cord. Make sure the extension cord being used is in good
condition. If there are any cut or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO
NOT use that cord. Also, make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry
the current needed by the saw (see RECOMMENDED SIZES OF EXTENSION
CORDS). DO NOT use small "around-the-house" lamp extension cords. These
cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when used with power tools.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool "ON". Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turn-
ing it on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result
in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if the power switch does not turn it "ON" or "OFF". Any tool that can-
not be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safe-
ty measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-
ting tool is unintentionally contacted.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop-
erly and perform its intended function.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
