Lower Guard Function; Additional Safety Warnings - Würth HKS 65-E POWER Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones De Servicio Original

 When 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. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
 When restarting a saw in the workpiece, cen-
tre 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.
 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.
 Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-
ened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf caus-
ing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
 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.
 Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function

 Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower
guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in
all angles and depths of cut.
 Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
 The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts and
angle cuts". Raise the lower guard by retract-
ing the handle and as soon as the blade enters
the material, release the lower guard. For all
other sawing operations, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
 Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing saw down on
bench or floor. 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 warnings

 Do not reach into the chip ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
 Do not work overhead with the saw. In this man-
ner you do not have sufficient control over the power tool.
 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
 Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is
not designed for operation with a saw table.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw blades can easily break.
 Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can ignite
the dust extraction.
 When working with the machine, always hold
it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure
with both hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
 Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power
tool.
 Use only original Würth accessories.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or
less.
