stayer SC210BW Operating Instructions Manual page 29

In addition, the operator must have understood and
assimilated, and fully comply with the present manual.
This machine requires the use of the following individual
protective equipments:
1.Protective helmet
2.Integral face-protecting equipment (eyes and face)
against impacts
3.Ear protectors
4.Dust mask
5.Protective gloves against mechanical aggression
6.Boots with toe caps and insoles
7.Working garment
8.Tool bag
9.Safety belt (occasional)
14. Special safety precautions
Safety Precautions
- Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed.
- Do not use the saw without guards in position, especially
after a mode change, and keep guards in good working
properly maintained.
- Replace the block of the table when worn.
-Only use blades recommended by the manufacturer saw,
with a warning that the keel should not be thicker than the
width of the groove of the cut made by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the blade; Specific saw blades
for cutting wood must comply with EN 847-1.
- Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
-Dressing appropriate personal protective equipment
when necessary, which may include:
• Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing
loss.
• Eye protection.
• Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust.
• Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
materials (leaves should be on a stand whenever
practicable).
- Connect the saw to a dust collection system when
sawing wood.
- Always store the push stick in place when not in use
Description of risks specifically related to the
machine
Any of the following prior risk conditions must have existed
for the risks to become real:
1.The operator has not been suitably trained.
2.The mitre saw has not been installed suitably.
3.The mitre saw has not been maintained correctly.
4.The mitre saw has been disassembled and then been
assembled incorrectly.
5.The mitre saw has been disassembled and assembled
with parts lacking.
6.Operator does not use the protection as indicated.
7.Operator grasps the workpiece with his/her hand.
8.Operator exposes his/her hands, body or garment to the
cutting path.
The two main classes of risks entailed by the use of this
machine are contacts with the cutting disk and projections
of particles or cut pieces.

1.Contact with the cutting disk
Case of use 1.1: During the development of the cutting
operation
Description of an accident of type 1.1.1: The appearance
of a nod in the wood leading to a change in the resistance
to penetration causes an abrupt jerk in the workpiece and
thus the possibility that the operators hand is suddenly
displaced towards the disk and contacts the same if it
remains accessible.
Description of an accident of type 1.1.2: This occurs
during headpiece cutting operations at workpieces having
a very short length being held manually. When the disk
penetrates into the workpiece, the latter may fall into the
disk's penetration slot of the cutting table and thus drag
the hand that holds the workpiece, making it enter into
contact with the disk if it remains accessible.
Case of use 1.2: Fortuitous contact with the disk when
turning without load in the resting position.
Description of an accident of type 1.2.1: It occurs
when working with a machine that has been manipulated
or lacking guards. Under these conditions the actuating
element remains locked such that the operator maintains
the disk rotating without load in the resting position and
with the disk being accessible. At the same time the
operator's hand enters into contact with the cutting disk
whilst carrying out operations in areas in the vicinity of the
disk (e.g. removing the cut workpiece, placing a new
workpiece on the table, etc.)
Case of use 1.3: Abrupt fall if the disk due to breakage of
the fastening spring in the resting position
Description of an accident of type 1.3.1: There occurs
the drop of the counterweight of the movable head
sustaining the cutting disk due to breakage of one or both
of the counterweight springs or of the anchoring thereof.
At the same time the disk remains rotating without load. At
the same time the operator has his/her hands under the
cutting path. Under these conditions the disk catches up
with the operator's hands that at that moment are carrying
out operations in that area.
2.Projection of the cut workpiece
Case of use 2.1: Abrupt fall if the disk due to breakage of
the fastening spring in the resting position.
Description of an accident of type 2.1: This risk appears
when operating on short workpieces with fixed stoppers.
After completing the cut and raising the disk, the remnant
wedged between the stopper and the disk may be dragged
thereby and projected violently, and in the worst case even
lead to a breakage of the disk.
15. Measure for preventing machine-specific
risks
1.Preventing contacts with the cutting disk
1.1 Prevention during the development of the cutting
operation
1.The operator must mandatorily be sufficiently trained
and instructed, and know the present manual in such a
manner that he/she is able to know if a machine or his/
