Additional Safety Rules - Makita LS1016 Manual De Instrucciones

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to slide compound saw safety rules. If you use this
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with a vise during
all operations. Never use your hand to secure
the workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving
settings.
7. Unplug tool
servicing.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to
the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.

before changing blade
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

9. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
11. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood
pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting
operation and the saw blade is driven back
rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control
and serious personal injury can result. If blade
begins to bind during a cutting operation, do
not continue to cut and release switch
immediately.
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
