General power tool safety warnings
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 a 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 can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source from
the the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of 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 missalingment
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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from thoes 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.
Safety warnings for circular saws
a. DANGER:
Keep hands away from cutting area and
the blade. Keep your second hand on motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut
by the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c.
Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
d.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
e.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
f. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
g. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
h. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is
binding, it may walk up from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
i. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction and blade binding.
j. 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.
k. 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.
