TOOL SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear ear protectors.
m
can cause hearing loss.
Wear eye protection.
m
to prevent eyes from exposure to flying
particles.
Wear dust mask.
m
measures against inhalation of dust. Some
materials can contain toxic materials. Also
work with dust/ chip extraction when
connectable.
Additional Safety Rules For Saw
Tools
Keep hands away from cutting area
m
and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the
m
workpiece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the
m
thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
Hold the power tool by insulated
m
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

Exposure to noise
Wear goggles
Take protective
Use clamps or another practical way
m
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
When ripping, always use a rip fence
m
or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance
of blade binding.
Never use damaged or incorrect
m
blade washers or bolt. The blade
washers and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback Causes And Related
Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
m
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator
When the blade is pinched or jammed
m
tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
m
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
