Electrical Safety; Saw Blades - Black & Decker KS1300 Instruction Manual

Even with the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be
avoided. These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the
uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the blade.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when opening
the guards.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when sawing wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.

Saw blades

•
Do not use blades of larger or smaller
diameter than recommended. For the proper
blade rating refer to the technical data. Use
only the blades specified in this manual,
complying with EN 847-1.
•
Warning! Never use abrasive wheels.
Safety of others
•
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
•
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in
the technical data and the declaration of
conformity have been measured in accordance
with a standard test method provided by EN
60745 and may be used for comparing one tool
with another. The declared vibration emission
value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to
protect persons regularly using power tools in
employment, an estimation of vibration exposure
should consider, the actual conditions of use and
the way the tool is used, including taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury,
