Safety Guidelines - Kreg KMS7102 Manual Del Propietário

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the instruction manual.
WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
WARNING!
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Don't use power tools in a dangerous environment. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
c) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
d) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
e) Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Ground electric tools. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should only be plugged into a grounded three-hole electrical outlet. If the proper outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualified electrician. N
ever remove the third prong or modify the provided plug in any way.
c) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded
d) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
e) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a proper extension cord and make sure it is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine draws. An undersized cord causes a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Do not allow familiarity
gained from frequent use of a tool to replace safe work practices. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
c) Use safety equipment. Use a face or dust mask when the cutting operation is dusty. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions reduces personal injuries.
d) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
e) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
f) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
g) Secure workpieces. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. This is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
h) Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
i) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
j) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Keep guards in place, properly adjusted, and in working order.
b) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The tool will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
c) Use the right tool or accessory. Don't a force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
d) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
e) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
f) Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
g) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
h) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect power tool operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
i) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
j) Use the recommended speed for the cutting tool or accessory and workpiece material.
k) Only use parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may cause personal injury.
l) Use the power tool, accessories, bits, and blades in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5)Avoid kickback when operating your power tool. Kickbacks can cause serious injury, property damage, or death.
A kickback usually occurs when the workpiece or cut-off piece binds or becomes trapped between a spinning blade or bit and the machine fence and is violently ejected. To avoid kickback:
a) Always use a sharp blade or bit.
b) On a tablesaw, ensure that both the saw blade and rip fence are parallel to the miter-gauge slots. See your tablesaw owner's manual for instructions on making these adjustments.
c) Plan your tablesaw cuts to avoid binding. Never use the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time to support a workpiece. The cut-off can bind and kick back.
d) Never cut freehand. The workpiece should always be supported by either the miter gauge or the machine fence, but not both.
e) Use hold-downs, featherboards, push sticks, and push blocks where appropriate to guide the workpiece during the cut. These accessories protect your hands from injury.
f) When using a featherboard while making through cuts on a tablesaw, always position the featherboard on the in-feed side and at least 2" in front of the blade.
g) Never position a featherboard adjacent to or on the out-feed side of a blade or bit, or in any configuration that would cause the workpiece or waste to be pushed into or pinch the blade or bit.
Positioning a featherboard in this manner can cause the workpiece or waste to kick back, resulting in serious personal injury.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
7) Additional safety rules for the Precision Miter Gauge System
a) Read this manual and these safety guidelines. Follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines for the tool on which you are using this accessory.
Learn the applications and limitations of the tool as well as the hazards specific to it. Operating the power tool before understanding safe and proper use could result in personal injury.
b) Ensure that the handle is tight and the fence extrusion T-knobs are secure prior to starting the power tool.
c) Keep hands away from a moving blade or bit when operating the machine. Never reach near a moving blade or bit to clear debris. Turn off the power tool and wait for the blade or bit to come to a complete stop.
d) Always support long boards on both the infeed and the outfeed ends.
e) Always securely hold workpieces against the machine table and miter gauge or fence.
f) This miter-gauge system is designed for a specific application. Do not modify and/or use it for any other application. If you have questions about the miter gauge,
DO NOT use it until you contact Kreg Tool Company and receive advice.
