SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CUT- OFF AND MITRE SAWS
Provide for adequate room lighting at your workplace
or for adequate lighting of the immediate work area.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through while
working, do not touch the cable but pull the mains plug
immediately. Never use the machine with a damaged
cable.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protection. Dust
is generated while working that can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protective
measure are required.
For example: Some types of dust are considered to be
carcinogenic. Use suitable dust vacuuming and wear
a dust protection mask.
Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep the
workplace clean since mixed materials are especially
dangerous.
Wear protective gloves and sturdy shoes. When nec&
essary, also wear an apron.
Connect machines that are used outdoors by means
of a fault current circuit breaker (FI) with a maximum
triggering current of 30 mA. Use only an extension ca&
ble that is approved for outdoor use.
Always lead the cable to the rear away from the ma&
chine.
Use the machine only for dry cutting.
Take hold of the electric tool only by the insulated han&
dle when the cutting tool used could come in contact
with hidden wiring o r its o wn mains cable. Co ntact
with voltage carrying wiring can place the metal parts
of the machine also under voltage and lead to an elec&
trical shock.
Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could oc&
cur if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is ac&
cidentally contacted.
Use cutting disks whose allowable speed is at least as
high as the no&load speed of the machine. Check the
cutting disk before use.
Keep your body positioned to either side of but not in
line with the cutting disk. In case of a burst disk, your
body is better protected from possible fragments.
The cutting disk must be flawlessly mounted and be
able to ro tate freely. Make a test run o f at least o ne
minute without load. Do not use damaged, out&of&
round or vibrating cutting disks.
Always correctly adjust the depth stop. When the
depth stop is not properly adjusted, the cutting disk
can cut into the surface underneath the base plate.
During operation, the cutting disk cover must be at&
tached and the protective pendulum hood must be
functioning properly.
Do not work with magnesium or materials containing
asbestos.
Pro tect the cutting disk fro m impacts, sho cks and
grease.
Apply the machine to the wo rk piece o nly when it is
switched on.
Keep your hands away from the rotating cutting disk.
When cutting metal, sparks are generated. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the dan&
ger of fire, no combustible materials should be located
in the vicinity (spark flying zone).
Blocking of the cutting disk leads to a jerking reaction
of the machine. In this case, switch off the machine im&
mediately.
Do no t ram the cutting disk with fo rce into the wo rk
piece or apply too much pressure when using the ma&
chine. Avoid especially the catching of the cutting disk
when working on corners, sharp edges, etc. When the
cutting disk is damaged due to misuse, it may develop
cracks that could lead to bursting without warning.
