SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
▪
Make sure that all devices screening the saw blade are in perfect working order.
▪
Make sure that the saw blade is screened correctly. Especially observe the following
instructions:
Never block the saw blade guard. Repair a jammed saw blade guard before using the
machine again.
Replace a broken tension spring before using the machine again.
Never remove the riving knife. The distance between the toothed rim and the riving knife
should be 5 mm maximum. The height difference between the riving knife and the
toothed rim should be 5 mm maximum.
▪
Do not use saw blades made of HSS steel.
▪
Do not use bent, deformed or otherwise damaged saw blades.
▪
Do not use saw blades which do not meet the specifications stated in this manual.
▪
Before sawing, remove all nails and other metal objects from the workpiece.
▪
Never start sawing before the saw reaches its full speed.
▪
Securely clamp the workpiece. Never attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
▪
Only put the machine aside after switching off and when the saw blade has come to a
complete standstill.
▪
Never try to slow the saw blade down by exerting pressure on the side.
▪
Before performing maintenance to the machine, always unplug the machine.
▪
Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
▪
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
▪
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
▪
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
▪
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
▪
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
▪
Always use blades with correct size and shape. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
▪
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
