Personal Safety - Silverline 125554 Manual Del Usario

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by
the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB)".

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.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents
d) 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
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed
b) 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
c) 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
d) 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
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, 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
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
Pendulum Jigsaw 560W
Jigsaw Safety
WARNINGS: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch
power point receptacle, outlet etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.
For safety relating to protective clothing/equipment and general health
hazards relating to power tools; refer to General and Electrical Safety
sections in this manual
• Do not let anyone below 18 years of age operate this jigsaw
• Ensure there is adequate lighting
• Rags, cloths, cord and string etc should not be left around the work area
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all embedded objects before starting
work
• Support or clamp the workpiece to avoid vibration, and ensure a good cut
• See specification section of this manual for the correct type of blade.
Incorrect blades may not be secured correctly, causing a safety hazard
• Only use blades that are in good condition
• To avoid the possibility of an electric shock, always hold the saw using
the insulated handles
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and
switch off before looking up
• Keep your hands away from the underside of the workpiece
• Ensure that an appropriate blade is used for the material being cut
• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting
path
• Where guards exist, ensure they are in place
• Do not put pressure on the tool. Allow the blade to cut at its own pace.
This will produce better results and maximise the service life of the tool
• Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance for the blade
under the workpiece
• Always keep the shoe pressed against the workpiece
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the specifications
section of this manual
• Do not force the blade to bend or twist whilst cutting
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before lifting it from the workpiece
• Do not use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the
blade
• Do not reach over the blade to remove waste or off-cuts
• Blades heat up during use. Allow to cool completely before handling
• If a blade jams, disconnect the machine from the power supply prior to
releasing the blade
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings, tighten where
necessary
