Residual Risks - Black & Decker SMS254 Manual

•
Before using any accessory consult the
instruction manual. The improper use of an
accessory can cause damage.
•
Do not use any abrasive discs.
•
Raise the blade from the table insert in the
workpiece prior to releasing the on/of switch.
•
Do not wedge anything against the fan to
hold the motor shaft.
•
The blade guard on your saw will
automatically raise when the arm is brought
down; it will lower over the blade when the
arm is raised. The guard can be raised by
hand when installing or removing saw blades
or for inspection of the saw. Never raise the
blade guard manually unless the machine is
switched off.
•
Check periodically that the motor air slots are
clean and free of chips.
•
Do not work with material containing
asbestos. Asbestos is considered to be
carcinogenic.
•
Never make the warning signs on the power
tool unrecognisable.
•
Never stand on the power tool. Serious
injuries could occur when the power tool tips
over or when coming in contact with the saw
blade.
•
Do not take hold of the saw blade after
working before it has cooled. The saw blade
becomes very hot while working.
•
Advance the saw blade against the
workpiece only when it is switched on.
Otherwise, the danger of kickback exists
when the saw blade catches in the
workpiece.
•
The intended use is described in this
instruction manual. The use of any accessory
or attachment or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may
present a risk of personal injury and/or
damage to property.
•
Never place hands near cutting area. Keep
hands outside the "No Hands Zone" which
includes the entire table and is labelled by
"No Hands" symbols.
•
To avoid injury from materials being thrown,
unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting,
and then remove small materials.
•
Before use and after any maintenance the
blade guard must be checked to ensure
proper function. This test must be performed
with the saw switched off and unplugged. The
arm must be raised and lowered to ensure
the guard covers the blade and the blade
does not contact the guard. If the guard fails
to operate correctly, have your power tool
serviced by a qualified repair agent. Call
Black & Decker customer services for your
nearest service agent.
