Safety instructions for manual circular saws
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. b) Do not reach underneath
the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold pieces being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
„live“ wire will
also, make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight-edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers
and bolts were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
– when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the
blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back
edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to
resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade. kickback could cause the saw to jump backward, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding. c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in
the kerf and check those saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If aw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kick back from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both ides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerfs causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate
the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, the 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 the 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 may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as „plunge
cuts“ and „compound cuts“. Raise the lower guard by retracting the handle and
as soon as the 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
the saw down on the bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the
machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale
the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection
mask.
Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
When working in walls ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables
and gas or water pipes.
Please turn the device immediately off when the tool used gets blocked! Do not
turn the device on again when the tool is still blocked. This could cause a
bounce back with a high reaction moment.
Determine and remove the cause of the blocking of the tool used while
respecting the safety instructions. The possible causes may by:
- it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
- it has pierced through the material to be machined
- the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running. Chips and splinters must
not be removed while the machine is running.
WARNING!
The danger of burns The insertion tool may become hot during use.
- when changing tools
- when setting the device down
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips and to avoid melting plastic materials during cutting.
