GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
8.12 If the saw blade should become jammed,
switch the machine off and hold the work
piece until the saw blade comes to a
complete stop. To prevent kick back, the work
piece may not be moved until after the
machine has come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw
blade before restarting the machine.
8.13 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or
damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades
produce narrow kerfs causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
8.14 Always use saw blade with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
hole.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
8.15 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blade.
Such saw blades can easily break.
8.16 Do not touch the saw blade after
working before it has cooled.
The saw blade
becomes very hot while working.
8.17 Never operate the machine without the
insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
8.18 Check the cable regularly and have a
damaged cable repaired only through an
authorised customer service agent. Replace
damaged extension cables.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
8.19 Store the machine in a safe manner when
not being used. The storage location must be
dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage
damage, and from being operated by untrained
persons.
8.20 Never leave the machine before it has
come to a complete stop.
Cutting tools that are
still running can cause injuries.
8.21 Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the main plug when the cable is damaged while
working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
9. Using an Extension Cable
.
9.1. If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of the tool.
9.2. Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
9.3. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases you must use a heavier gauge extension
cable. Using extension cables with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage.
9.4. The smaller the gauge number of the wire
the greater the capacity of the cord.
9.5. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
