Mac allister MJ10250XI Safety And Operation Instructions page 6

- Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.
- To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut.
- When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.
- Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
- Always hold the workpiece firmly with both hands or with push sticks. Keep your
body in a balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never
stand directly in line with the blade.
- Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN61029:
Work mode description 1
(if required by the relevant Part 2)
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning:
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is
used:-
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed
Warning:
