Ec Declaration Of Conformity; General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Makita DHS782 Manual De Instrucciones

NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measure d in a c c or d an c e w it h a stan d ar d test met h o d
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

Cutting procedures
1 . DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxil-
iary handle, or motor housing. I f bot h h an d s are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. T h e
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
w orkpie c e.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. L ess t h an a f ull toot h o f t h e bla d e

4 . Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. I t is important to
support the work properly to minimise body expo-
sure, bla d e bin d ing, or loss o f c ontrol.

5 . Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Kickback causes and related warnings
— ki c kba c k is a su d d en rea c tion to a pin c h e d ,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an

to w ar d t h e operator ;
when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the

kerf c losing d ow n, th e blad e stalls and th e motor reac -
tion drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
— if th e blad e bec omes tw isted or misaligned in th e c ut,

top surf ac e of th e w ood c ausing th e blad e to c limb out
of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating pro c e d ures or c on d itions an d c an be a v oi d e d
by taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
1 .
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 backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
i f proper pre c autions are taken.
2. W hen 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. I nv estigate and take c orrec -
tiv e ac tions to eliminate th e c ause of blad e bind ing.
3. W hen restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. I f a sa w bla d e
binds, it may walk up or kickback from the work-
pie c e as t h e sa w is restarte d .
4 . Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. L arge panels ten d
to sag un d er t h eir o w n w eig h t. S upports must be
pla c e d un d er t h e panel on bot h si d es, near t h e line
