5.2.3 Safety instructions for Circular saw with
pendulum guard
a)
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.
b)
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating prop-
erly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c)
Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by re-
tracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released.
For
all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d)
Always observe that the lower 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.
5.3 Additional safety instructions
5.3.1 Personal safety
a)
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b)
Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
c)
Do not operate the power tool without the pro-
tective devices that belong to it.
d)
Operate the power tool only as intended and
when it is in faultless condition.
e)
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
f)
Switch the power tool on only after bringing it
into position at the workpiece.
g)
Remove the battery before storing or transport-
ing the power tool.
h)
Always guide the power tool away from your
body when working with it.
i)
Do not work with the power tool overhead.
j)
Do not attempt to brake the speed of the saw
blade by pressing it to the side.
k)
Do not touch the clamping flange or the clamp-
ing screw while the power tool is running.
l)
Never press the drive spindle lock button while
the saw blade is rotating.
m)
Never direct the power tool toward persons.
n)
Adjust the pressure applied to the saw blade
and the material being cut so that the blade
does not stall, possibly causing the power tool
to kick back.
o) Metal cuttings are sharp and present a risk of
injury.
Keep your clothing closed so that metal
cuttings cannot find their way into your gloves,
shoes or other parts of your clothing.
p) Pay attention to the direction in which the metal
chips fly when sawing.
The chips are hot and
may cause fires or lead to burning and cutting
injuries.
q)
Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
r)
The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
s)
WARNING: Some dust created by grinding,
sanding, cutting and drilling contains chem-
icals known to cause cancer, birth defects,
infertility or other reproductive harm; or seri-
ous and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from
lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
concrete and other masonry products and natural
stone, arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work.
To reduce exposure to these chemicals,
the operator and bystanders should work in a
well-ventilated area, work with approved safety
equipment, such as respiratory protection ap-
propriate for the type of dust generated, and
designed to filter out microscopic particles and
direct dust away from the face and body. Avoid
prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
