Specific Safety Instructions - MAKO TOOLS SROM 1197 Instruction Manual

•
Never overload the machine. If the speed drops, unload the machine or switch it off. You will
work safer and better with the appropriate electric tool in a specific area of application.
•
Stop the workpiece from turning, for example with a clamping device or a vice. Don't work on any
workpiece that is too small to clamp in place. If you hold the workpiece with your hand, then you
can't operate the tool safely.
•
Keep electric tools out of the reach of children.
•
Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
•
The mains voltage must correspond to the information on the machine's type plate.
•
Avoid body contact to grounded elements, e.g. pipes, radiators, stoves, and refrigerators to prevent
an electric shock
•
Never carry the device by the cable. Only pull the cable from the receptacle with the plug. Protect
the cable from oil, heat, and sharp edges. Damaged cables can cause an electric shock.
•
Check the device and power cable for damage before starting work.
•
When plugging in the tool, make sure that the operating switch is not in the ON position.
•
Only use approved extension cables when using the device outside.
•
When using a cable drum, unwind it entirely in order to prevent the cable from heating up. The
minimum suitable wire gauge is 1.5 mm
•
When working outside it is recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual
current device with a rated current of 30mA or less.
•
Pull out the plug when you are not using the device, or are making adjustments.
•
Always guide the cable away from the back of the tool.
•
Ensure that the socket outlet that the tool is connected to is always accessible during use.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
5. SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS:
1. Safety Precautions:
Warning! Do not use damaged, cracked or deformed saw blades. Replace worn table inserts.
Only use saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1.
Warning! Ensure, when changing the saw blade, that the cutting width and main body thickness of
the replacement blade is not smaller than the thickness of the riving knife!
•
Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material to be cut is selected.
•
Wear suitable personal protective equipment. This includes: Hearing protection to avoid the risk of
•
becoming hearing impaired, Respiratory protection to avoid the risk of inhaling harmful dust,
•
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
•
Carry saw blades in a container whenever practical.
•
Wear goggles. Sparks generated during work or splinters, chippings and dust coming from the
device can lead to loss of eyesight.
•
Connect a dust collecting device to the electric tool when sawing wood. The emission of dust is
influenced, among other things, by the type of material to be processed, the significance of local
separation (collection or source) and the correct setting of the hood/guide plates/guides.
•
Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy steel (HSS steel).
