Stanley FATMAX FME721-QS Manual page 11

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Additional safety warnings for mitre
saws.
Do not use cracked/bent/damaged/deformed saw blades.
u
Replace the table insert when worn.
u
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
u
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades.
u
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
u
material (saw blades should be carried in a holder when
practicable).
Use the dust bag provided when sawing wood.
u
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
@
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sawing applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
(Original instructions)
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction blades.
u
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
u
This mitre saw has been designed for sawing wood,
u
plastic and nonferrous metal only.
Do not operate the machine without the guard in position.
u
Do not operate the machine if the guard does not function
or is not maintained properly.
Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing
u
bevel cuts.
Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable.
u
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
u
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained
u
and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided with
u
adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
u
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
u
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp. Follow instruction for lubricating
and changing accessories.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
u
equal to the speed marked on the saw;
The laser fitted must never be exchanged with a different
u
type of laser. Repairs to the laser should be carried out by
authorised repair agents or Stanley Fat Max service staff.
Disconnect the machine form the mains before carrying
u
out any maintenance or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of any
u
off-cuts or other parts of the work piece form the cutting
area when the machine is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
u
Secure the work piece. A work piece held with a clamping
u
device or a vice is more secure than when held with the
hand.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked to the saw
u
table. Do not work with pieces that are too small to clamp,
otherwise, the distance of the hands to the rotating saw
blade is too small. Always use extra support when sawing
long work pieces.
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
u
starting any operation.
Never use your saw without the table insert.
u
Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
u
connected to the mains supply.
Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
u
jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
Before using or fitting any accessory consult the instruc-
u
tion manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage.
Do not use any abrasive discs.
