9. BASIC CIRCULAR SAW OPERATIONS
FIG.3
FIG.4
FIG.5
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
9.1 ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH - FIG. 3
The on/off switch
is fitted with a safety button
so that it is not possible to start the circular
saw by accident. To start the saw press the safety
button
and depress the on/off switch
at the
same time. Always wear ear defenders during use.
9.2 DUST EXTRACTION - FIG. 4
Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to
health. The dust outlet
must be connected with
a dust extraction machine.
NOTE: Due to the outlet diameter, a size
adaptation may be necessary.
All wood dust (including dust from composites like
chipboards and fibre boards etc.) is hazardous to
health; it can affect the nose, the respiratory
system and the skin. For example MDF (medium
density fibreboard) which contains formaldehyde is
a known carcinogen. In addition to the above
measures a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for
the activity and in accordance to the relevant
standard, must be worn. For work activities
involving exposure to fine wood dust a mask rated
to at least FFP2 should be used.
9.3 CUTTING DEPTH - FIG. 5
To adjust the cutting depth left lever
upwards.
Set the depth on scale
as a guide.
NOTE: For accuracy measure the tip of the blade
back to the base (only with the plug removed from
the socket). Tighten locking lever
when depth
is set.
