Safety Warnings For Mitre Saws - Probuilder 32891 Manual De Instrucciones

• Use the power tool, accessories, and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service

qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Safety warnings for mitre saws

• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used
with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting
ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs,
etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts
such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
guard, the kerf insert and other plastic
parts.
• Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always
keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use
this saw to cut pieces that are too small
to be securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the
saw blade, there is an increased risk of
injury from blade contact.
• The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence
and the table. Do not feed the workpiece
into the blade or cut "freehand" in any
way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces
could be thrown at high speeds, causing
injury.
• Push the saw through the workpiece. Do
not pull the saw through the workpiece.
To make a cut, raise the saw head and
pull it out over the workpiece without
cutting, start the motor, press the saw
head down and push the saw through
the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke
is likely to cause the saw blade to climb
on top of the workpiece and violently
throw the blade assembly towards the
operator.
• Never cross your hand over the intended
line of cutting either in front or behind
the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece
"cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece
to the right of the saw blade with your
left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
• Do not reach behind the fence with
either hand closer than 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade, to remove
wood scraps, or for any other reason
while the blade is spinning. The proximity
of the spinning saw blade to your hand
may not be obvious and you may be
seriously injured.
• Inspect your workpiece before cutting.
If the workpiece is bowed or warped,
clamp it with the outside bowed face
toward the fence. Always make certain
that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line
of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding
on the spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
• Do not use the saw until the table is
clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc.,
except for the workpiece. Small debris
or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be
thrown with high speed.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be
adequately clamped or braced and may
bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
