– Ensure that any spacer and spindle rings used
are suitable for the purpose as stated by the
manufacturer.
– When cutting very large pieces always use suitable side
supports.
– Ambient condition operating limits: + 5 °C / + 40 °C ,
relative humidity 50 % at a maximum temperature of +
40 °C
WARNING: Vibrations during real machine use
may differ from those declared as the total
vibration value depends very much on how the
machine is used.
It is therefore necessary to identify the most
appropriate safety measures required for
safeguarding the operator based on estimated
exposure times and real conditions of use.
1.7 HAZARDS AND RESIDUAL RISKS
Residual risk caused by exposure to noise.
Source of residual risk
Residual risks are present on the mitre saw linked to noise
emissions produced by the machine during operation.
Precautions adopted
Warning stickers are affi xed to the machine itself indicating
the risk and the need for all operators/maintenance
technicians to wear appropriate hearing protection.
Safety standards
WARNING: Operators and/or authorized
maintenance technicians must always wear
appropriate hearing protection before working
with or on the machine.
Reisdual risks of damage to eyesight due to laser
emissions.
Source of residual risk.
This risk is present near the special laser pointer which the
mitre saw is equipped with.
Precautions adopted
A special warning sticker indicating the residual risk
has been affi xed near the light source.
Safety standards
WARNING: it is strictly forbidden to look directly
at the laser beam or aim it at other people.
Residual risks of a mechanical nature
– Shearing hazard
– Cutting and severing hazard
– Entanglement hazard
– Drawing in and entrapment hazard
Source of residual risk.
Residual risks are present on the mitre saw linked to
operation of the rotating blade when the machine is used
as a mitre saw and to the cutting blade when used with
the operating surface. These risks exist during operation,
maintenance and troubleshooting operations.
Precautions adopted
The machine is fi tted with special safety guards designed to
guarantee safety conditions throughout operation.
Safety standards
WARNING: Before carrying out any kind of
operation on/with the machine, the operator and/or
authorized maintenance technicians must be fully
informed of the aforementioned residual risks and
must check that the blade guards are present and
correctly installed. Furthermore they must wear
appropriate personal protective equipment.
WARNING: Before carrying out any maintenance,
repair or troubleshooting operations, the operator
and/or authorized maintenance technicians must
make sure that the machine has been turned off
and is disconnected from the power supply.
1.8 INFORMATION CONCERNING NOISE AND
VIBRATION LEVELS
The noise emitted, measured in conformity with the
standards
EN61029, EN3744 and EN11201
is:
– Sound pressure level ............................... LpA = 93 dB(A)
– Sound power level ............................... LWA = 103 dB(A)
– Uncertainty of measurement ..............................K = 3 dB
We recommend you to use ear protection devices.
The sources of the noise of the saw are: the electric engine
and its ventilation system, the speed reduction device, the
blade and the material to be cut.
We advise you to control the engine, its ventilation system
and the aspiration passages. As far as the saw blade is
concerned, it is preferable to use silenced type of blades
and to keep them in good conditions. We recommend to
use the correct saw blade and to keep fi rmly the workpieces
to be cut.
Noise levels are emission levels and do not necessarily
indicate safe working conditions. Even if there is a
connection between emission levels and exposure levels,
the fi rst ones cannot be used to determine safely if other
precautions are necessary. The factors that can infl uence
the actual exposure level of the operator include the
exposure length, environmental features and other sources
of noise, as for example the number of machines and
operations in the surrounding area. Besides, exposure
levels can change from country to country. However,
these instructions enable the user of the machine to better
evaluate the dangers and risks.
