Operation - eXact PipeCut V1000 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Safety warnings for circular
saws
a) DANGER: Keep hands away
from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on motor
housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Never hold the workpiece 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.
d) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
e) Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
f) 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.

g) When blade is binding, or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion.
Investigate and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
h) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may
walk up from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
i) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction and blade binding.
j) Use extra caution when making a "plunge
cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause kickback.
k) 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.
l) Check the operation of the lower guard. If
the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before
use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or
a build-up of debris. m) Do not reach into the
saw dust ejector with your hands. They could
be injured by rotating parts.
n) Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have suffi cient control
over the power tool.
o) Do not operate the power tool stationary.
It is not designed for operation with a saw
table.
p) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
q) When working with the machine, always
hold it fi rmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is
guided more secure with both hands.
