Tool Use And Care; Specific Safety Rules For Wood Shapers - Surtek TR702A Manual De Usuario

IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
may be different or reduced, or lack of experi-
ence or knowledge, unless such persons are su-
pervised or trained to operate the product by
a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not use
the devices as toys.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.

SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
WOOD SHAPERS
1. KEEPING HANDS SAFE: Never pass your
hands near or directly over or in front of the
cutter. As one hand approaches the 12-inch
radius point, move it in an arc motion away
from the cutter to the outfeed side and reposi-
tion that hand more than 12 inches beyond the
cutter.
2. HOLDING AND UNSAFE WORKPIECE: DO
NOT shape stock shorter than 12 inches with-
out special fixtures or jigs. Where practical,
shape longer stock and cut to size.
3. CUTTER POSITIONING: Keep the cutters on
the underside of the workpiece whenever pos-
sible to reduce operator exposure to the mov-
ing cutter.
4. TESTING FOR CLEARANCE: Unplug the
shaper, and always rotate the spindle by hand
to test any new setup to ensure proper cutter
clearance before starting the shaper.
5. SAFELY STARTING AND FEEDING WORK-
PIECE: When shaping contoured work and
using a rub collar, NEVER start shaping at a cor-
ner. See the rub collar section further on in the
manual. The danger of kick-back is increased
when the stock has knots, holes, or foreign
objects in it.
6. PREPARING A WORKPIECE: Always run
warped stock through a jointer before you run
it through the shaper. An warped workpiece is
difficult to process, which increases the risk of
an accident.
7. CUTTER EXPOSURE: Keep any unused por-
tion of the cutter below the table surface.
8. AVOIDING AN OVERLOAD: Never attempt to
remove too much material in one pass. Several
light passes are safer and give a cleaner finish.
9. SAFELY FEEDING A WORKPIECE: In most ap-
plications it is advisable to use a push stick as
a safety device; in others it can be quite dan-
gerous. If the push stick comes in contact with
the cutter on the end grain, it can be violently
propelled from your hand—potentially causing
