MAKO TOOLS SROM 1197 Instruction Manual page 13

•
Wear hearing protection. The generation of noise is influenced by various factors, including the
characteristics of saw blades, condition of saw blade and electric tool. Use saw blades which
were designed for reduced noise development, insofar as possible.
•
In times of non-use keep the push stick or the push block with the electrical power tool in its holder
at all times.
2. Maintenance and Repair:
•
Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or repair tasks.
•
Maintain the electric tool and tool attachments regularly and if necessary, initiate repairs in order to
reduce noise.
•
Report faults on the electric tool, protective devices or the tool attachment to the person
responsible for safety as soon as they are discovered.
3. Safe Work
•
Use the push stick or cross-slide, to pass the workpiece securely through the saw blade.
•
Make sure that the riving knife is always used, and set up is correct.
•
Use the upper blade guard and set it to the correct position.
•
Only use saw blades for which the maximum permissible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the table saw and which are suitable for the material to be cut.
•
Do not cut rebates or grooves without fitting a suitable guard, e.g. a tunnel-type guard, over the
saw table.
•
Circular saws must not be used for slotting jobs (cutting grooves which end in the workpiece).
•
When transporting the electric tool, only use specified carry points. Never use the protective
devices for handling or transport.
•
Make sure that the upper part of the saw blade is covered during transport, e.g. by the guard.
•
Be sure to only use spacers and spindle rings specified by the manufacturer as suitable for the
intended purpose.
•
The floor around the machine must be level, clean and free of loose particles, such as chips and
cutting residues.
•
Always stand to the side of the saw blade when working with the saw.
•
Do not remove any cutting residues or other parts of workpieces from the cutting zone while the
machine is running and the saw unit is not at rest.
•
Make sure that the machine is always secured on a workbench or a table if at all possible.
•
Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roller table) to prevent them sagging at the end of a cut.
•
Attention! Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed pieces of wood while the saw blade is
running. Switch off the machine to troubleshoot or remove jammed pieces of wood.
•
Disconnect the main power plug -
Refitting, including adjusting and measuring works, and cleaning must be carried out only when
the motor is switched off.
Before switching on again, ensure that keys and adjustment tools have been removed.
•
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can
impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of
serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their
physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
4. Safety Instructions for Handling of Saw Blades
•
Only use multi-piece blades or cutter heads if you have mastered their use.
