Residual Risks; Package Contents - DeWalt DW771 Manual

• Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades.
• Do not use HSS blades.
• Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
• Do not use any abrasive discs.
• Never use your saw without the kerf plate.
• Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the
switch.
• Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft.
• The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the arm
is brought down; it will lower over the blade when guard lock up
release lever (b) is pushed.
• Never raise the blade guard manually unless the saw is switched
off. The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing
saw blades or for inspection of the saw.
• Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of
chips.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance work or when changing the blade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the
machine is still running and the head is not in the rest position.
• When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood.
Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as:
-– Type of material to be machined (chip board produces more
dust than wood);
-– Correct adjustment of the saw blade;
-– Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and
chutes are properly adjusted.
• Operator shall be instructed on factors influencing exposure to
noise (e.g., use of saw blade designed to reduce the emitted noise,
saw blade and machine maintenance);
-– Report faults in the machine, including guards or saw blade, as
soon as they are discovered;
-– P rovide adequate general or localized lighting;
-– Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine;
-– When fitted with laser, no exchange with different type of
laser permitted. Repairs shall only be carried out by the laser
manufacturer or an authorized agent.

residual risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:

In spite of 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.
