b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
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 and 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools 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 and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of
the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
For both mitre saw mode and table saw (bench
saw) mode:
1 Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn.
2 NEVER wear gloves during operation except for
replacing saw blades or handling rough material
before operation.
3 Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.
4 Do not operate saw without guards and riving
knife in place. Check blade guards for proper
closing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guards do not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into
the open position. Any irregular operation of the
blade guards should be corrected immediately.
5 Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle,
flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex
bolt before or when installing the blade. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
Poor installation may cause vibration/ wobbling
or slippage of the blade. Use only flanges
specified for this tool.
6 Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Do not use saw blade which are
damaged or deformed.
7 Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1,
and observe that the riving knife must not be
thicker than the width of the cut by the saw blade
and not thinner than the body of the blade.
8 Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
9 Select the correct saw blade for the material
to be cut.
10 Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
