Safety Notes - Westfalia TSMM125 Operating Instructions Manual

Please note the included General Safety Notes and the
following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or
physical injury:
 Make sure that the mains voltage matches the specifications
on the type plate.
 Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities
are not allowed to use the plunge saw unless they are super-
vised and instructed by a guardian.
 Never leave the powered-on saw unattended and keep them
out of reach of children and persons in need of supervision.
 Use only approved extension cords with a suitable cable
quality.
 Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw blade.
 Wear appropriate work clothing as well
as eye protection, hand protection and
hearing protection. Always handle the
saw blade with gloves. Keep in mind that even a worn saw
blade is still very sharp. Always grasp the saw blade on the
sides. Do not fling the saw blade and do not drop it.
 Never use the plunge saw with grinding wheels.
 Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The protective cover
cannot protect you from the saw blade under the workpiece.
 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. It
should be visible less than a full tooth height under the work-
piece.
 Do not cut very small workpieces. When cutting round wood,
use a device which secures the workpiece from twisting. Never
hold the workpiece to be cut in your hand or across your leg. It
is important to secure the workpiece properly to minimise the
risk of physical contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of
control.
 Hold the saw only by the insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may come into
