Residual Risks - profiline TS 59E Instrucciones De Manejo

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, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise 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 sides, 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 kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
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 plunge-type saws
a) Check guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard with the blade
exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
debris.
c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the "plunge cut" when
the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely
kickback.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or
fl oor. 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.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
with riving knife
a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade
being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be
thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than
the tooth set of the blade.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in preventing kickback.
c) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
d) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate
of a guard.
Additional safety instructions for plunge-
type saws
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can
cause breathing diffi culty and possible injury.
• 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.
• Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.

Residual risks

• In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
– Impairment of hearing.
– Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts
of the rotating cutting disc.
– Risk of injury when changing the disc.
– Risk of dust inhalation from materials that when
cut, can be harmful.
