Instruction & User Manual
m
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
m
Wear impact-resistant eye
protection.
The grade of protection
required should be assessed for each use.
Failure of the workpiece, accessories or
the saw blade can generate high-velocity
projectiles.
m
Wear suitable gloves to protect
hands.
Use of the tool may expose the
operator’s hands to hazards including cuts,
abrasions and heat
m
Wear a dust mask.
Take protective
measures against inhalation of dust. Some
materials can contain toxic materials. Also
work with dust/ chip extraction when
connectable.
Additional Safety Rules For Saw
Tools
m
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
m
Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your other hand
on the insulated motor housing.
If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
m
Ensure that sparks and metal cuttings
are directed so as to not cause a
hazard.
Be aware that there is a running-
on of the saw blade after the ON/OFF
Trigger is released.
m
Ensure that the saw blade or cutter
is properly clamped.
Failure to do so can
result in serious bodily injury.
m
Never hold the workpiece in your
hands or across your leg while
cutting. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform.
It is important to support
the work properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
m
Cutting with these tools creates
sharp edges.
Wear gloves to protect
hands
Kickback Causes And Related
Warnings
m
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator
m
When the blade is pinched or jammed
tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator
m
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
