near the edge of the panel.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PLUNGE TYPE SAW
a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if guard
does not move freely and enclose the
blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the
guard so that the blade is exposed.
If saw
is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent.
Check to make sure that guard moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use.
Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the “plunge
cut” when the blade bevel setting is not
at 90°.
Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNING FOR TILE CUTTING
a) The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards
the operator. Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool.
Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
lncorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
i) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations.
The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective
equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken wheel may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
