machine in a safe manner, such as a guide.
Once the circular saw has been checked and safely fi xed, the depth, the angle and the width of cutting have been adjusted, do
the following:
Make sure the moving guards work freely and do not jam.
Do not block the movement of the guards in the open position.
Make sure all the rotating mechanisms of the guards are functioning correctly.
Make sure the splitting edge is set correctly and:
- it is aligned with the circular saw,
- it is not wider than the width of the circular saw,
- the distance between the splitting wedge and the edge of the toothed disc does not exceed 5 mm,
- the edge of the toothed disc does not protrude by more than 5 mm beyond the lower edge of the splitting edge.
Always use the splitting edge! (in case of the sawing machines equipped with a splitting edge)
Do not dismantle the splitting edge, which protects the circular saw and the tool from damage.
Wear an eye protection, a hearing protection and working gloves. Use dust masks.
Attention!
In case of tasks realised with manual sawing machines, always use hearing protection.
Fix the object to be processed to the workstation (e.g. using clamps or an anvil, etc.).
In case of cutting surfaces made of a hard wood (oak, beech, hornbeam), it is recommended to connect an external device col-
lecting the dust generated during the task to the dust extraction orifi ce
USING THE TOOL
The sawing machine may be connected to the mains once all the actions indicated in „Preparation for work
” have been realised
.
Adopt a secure and stable position.
Hold the sawing machine in both hands, by the handle and the additional handle (V).
Turn the sawing machine on, pressing the lock of the switch and then the switch itself (VI).
Once the sawing machine has been turned on, keep it freely for a couple of seconds and listen to make sure it is functioning in a
regular manner. In case any irregular sounds are emitted, stop working immediately and repeat the actions indicated in „Prepara-
tion for work
”
.
Put the base of the sawing machine on the surface of the object to be processed so as the disc does not touch the object (VII).
Once the switch has been pressed, wait until the circular saw has reached the nominal rotation and only then start cutting. It is
prohibited to put the saw at the material and only then start the tool. This might cause jamming of the saw, its damage or damage
the material, as well as lead to injuries.
In case cutting is resumed, let the circular saw reach the nominal rotation and then insert it in the kerf.
During cutting the circular saw must be led with smooth movements. Avoid excessive pressure. The pressure against the cutting
head should not exceed the pressure which is suffi cient to cut the material. It is required to avoid hitting with the circular saw
against the material being cut.
Attention! Do not manipulate the mobile guard of the saw circular saw. All actions related to cutting must be realised holding the
sawing machine with both your hands.
Lead the sawing machine along the cutting so that the base of the sawing machine is touching the surface of the processed
object.
If the saw jams in the material being processed, turn the sawing machine off immediately, pressing the lock button and the switch,
and only then remove the sawing machine from the kerf. During cutting pay particular attention to the possibility of slipping or
recoil of the sawing machine, and beware of dangers that may lead to accidents. During work do not exert excessive pressure on
the processed material and do not make rapid movements so as not to damage the circular saw and the sawing machine. Make
regular breaks during work.
Avoid overloading the tool – the temperature of the external surfaces must not exceed 60
o
C.
Once the task has been concluded, turn the sawing machine off , remove the plug of the tool from the mains socket and inspect the
machine.
The declared total value of vibration has been determined by means of a standard measurement method and may be used to com-
pare the tool with another one. The declared total value of vibration may be used for an initial evaluation of exposure.
Attention! The vibration caused during work with the tool may diff er from the declared value, depending on the way in which the tool
is used.
Attention! It is required to determine safety measures to protect the operator, based on evaluation of exposure under actual circum-
stances of operation of the machine (including all the phases of the working cycle, for example the time when the tool is off or is idling,
and the activation time).
