Safety Tips For The Laser Beamer; Using The Machine; Switch Off The Machine Immediately When You Discover; Assembly And Adjusting Instructions - Ferax BCS-1400 Manual

• Never put sideward pressure on the blade.
This may cause the blade to break.
• Be careful when cutting wood with knots,
nails or cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these
can cause the blade to get stuck.
• Never leave the circular saw unattended.

5.6 Safety tips for the laser beamer

• Never look into the light beam of the laser.
• Never point the light beam of the laser at
humans or animals.
• Do not point the light beam of the laser at
strongly reflecting material. Hazard from
reflected light.
• Only have repairs made to the laser beamer
by qualified personnel / professional repair
specialists.
• Do not insert any hard objects into the laser
optics.
• Clean the laser optics with a soft, dry brush.

5.7 Using the machine

• Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
• Never remove wood chips and saw dust that
is close to the saw blade with your hands. If
there are small pieces of wood left between
the fixed and the movable parts, the circular
saw will have to be stopped. The plug needs
to be removed from the socket, before any
left piece can be removed.
• Check that the blade is suitable for the spind-
le speed of the circular saw. Do not attempt
to cut before the circular saw has reached full
speed. Make sure the circular saw runs wit-
hout load (i.e. is not in contact with the work)
when you switch it on. The circular saw must
have reached its full speed first.
• Never cut wood that is thicker than the depth
of the saw blade.
• When cutting in wooden walls or floors,
check if there is no wiring or piping where
you intend to cut.
• Switch off the tool and wait until the blade
has stopped completely before moving the
saw away from the work or putting it down.
Hearing protection should be worn when
using the circular saw.
5.8 Switch off the machine immediately
when you discover
• A defective mains plug or mains lead.
• A defective switch.
• Overheating of the circular saw.
• Smoke or odeur caused by scorched insula-
tion.
