accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools and accessories with care. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take 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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Safety instructions related to guards
a)
Leave the guards in place. Guards have to be in functional condition and
mounted properly.
Loose, damaged or not properly functioning guards have to
be repaired or replaced.
b)
Always use the guard and the riving knife for cuts.
For cuts where the saw
blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other
safety devices reduce the risk of injuries.
c)
After finishing your work (e.g. seaming) where the guard and riving knife
have to be removed, immediately reattach the protective system.
The guard
and the riving knife reduce the risk of injury.
d)
Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the saw blade is not in
contact with the guard, the riving knife or the workpiece.
Inadvertent contact
of these components with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
e)
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual.
Incorrect
spacing, position and alignment are possible reasons for failure of the riving knife
to effectively prevent kickback.
f)
So that the riving knife can work, it must be positioned in the saw gap.
The
riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged
with the riving knife. A kickback by the riving knife cannot be prevented under
these conditions.
g)
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function
properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife, the body
