Residual Risks; Electrical Safety - Black & Decker BES510 Manual

ENGLISH
g. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for circular saws with outer or
inner pendulum guards
a. Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or
a build-up of debris.
c. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include
Impairment of hearing.

Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the

rotating saw blade.
Risk of injury when changing the blade.

Risk of squeezing fi ngers when opening the guards.

Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when

sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
Saw blades
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than

recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specifi ed in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Warning! Never use abrasive wheels.

Safety of others
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-

ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN
62841 and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in
a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following symbols, along with the date code, are shown
on the tool:
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user
must read the instruction manual.
Wear safety glasses or goggles
Wear ear protection
Wear a dust mask

Electrical safety

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
