5) LASER
Avoid direct exposure of
the eyes by laser radiation!
Flash can cause blindness!
6) SERVICE
Tool service, mechanical and/or
electrical is to be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service
performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CIRCULAR SAW
• Always wear a dust mask.
• Only use as blades recommended
(EN847-1 approval).
• Always wear hearing protection.
• Do not use any abrasive wheels.
• Ensure that the riving knife is
adjusted so that:
• The distance between the
riving knife and the toothed
rim of the saw blade is not
more than 5 mm.
• The toothed rim does not
extend more than 5 mm
beyond the lower edge of the
riving knife.
DANGER:
a) Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on auxiliary handle,
or 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) Adjust the cutting depth to
the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold a piece 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.
e) Hold power tool by 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.
f) When ripping always use a
rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut
and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
g) Always use blades with correct
size and sharp (diamond versus
round) or arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware
or the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
