e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f)
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other
blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
h) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw
if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
i)
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
j)
Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge
cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all
other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
k) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
l)
Recommendation for the use of a residual current device
with a rated residual
current device of 30mA or less.
Additional safety instructions for laser lights
The laser light/laser radiation used in the Ozito Circular Saw OZCS1600WA laser is Class 2
with maximun 1mW and 400nm - 700nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally
present an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
Warning!
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you
deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe all safety rules as follows:
•
The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
•
The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel and shall be
prevented from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
•
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective
surface’, i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or the like is not suitable
for laser use as the reflective surface
could direct the beam back at the
operator.
•
Do not change the laser light
assembly with a different type.
Repairs must only be carried out by a power tool repairer.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397 and AAS/NZS2211
for more information on Lasers.
