Instruction & User Manual
1. Safety instructions for all operations
m
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
m
Wear eye protection.
Wear goggles
to prevent eyes from exposure to flying
particles.
m
Wear dust mask.
Take protective
measures against inhalation of dust. Some
materials can contain toxic materials. Also
work with dust/ chip extraction when
connectable.
m
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners 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.
m
Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform.
Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Additional Safety Rules For Saw
Tools
m
Proper safety gloves are also recommended.
m
Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
m
Do not run the machine with any part of the
casing missing or damaged.
m
Vibrations can injure the nerves in hands &
arms. Keep exposure to vibrations as short
as possible. When carrying out work, always
ensure that you have a stable standing
position.
Special Safety Considerations
Causes and operator prevention of
kickback:
m
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator.
m
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly
back toward the operator.
m
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw
misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
m
Maintain a firm grip with both hands
on the saw and position your arms to
resist kickback forces. Position your
body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade.
Kick back
could cause the saw to jump backwards,
but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
