DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
DETAILS OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS
WITHOUT RIVING KNIFE
CAUTION:
Neglecting the instructions specified in the below warnings about
risks and guidelines for safety of use may cause risks of electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Cutting procedures
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep
b.
your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the sow, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
c.
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less
d.
that a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
e.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated surfaces gripping surfaces
f.
only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or starting edge guide. This
g.
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus
h.
round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The
i.
blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned
saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back towards the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth
at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be taking proper precautions as
given below.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your
a.
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, if proper precautions are taken.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
b.
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, centre the saw blade
c.
in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or cause kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching
d.
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. Unsharpened or improperly
e.
set blades narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and
f.
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
g.
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Guard function
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate
a.
the saw if guard does not move freely and enclose the blade
instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is
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.
Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If
b.
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.
Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while
c.
performing the "plunge cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at
90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before
d.
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 instructions
Precautions
• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.
• Do not use grinding wheels.
• Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with the standard EN 847-1.
• Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.
• Dust of certain wood types may be dangerous to health. Direct
physical contact with dusts may cause allergic reaction and/or
respiratory system diseases of operator or bystanders. Dusts of oak
and beech are considered carcinogenic, especially in connection
with wood processing substances (wood impregnants).
• Use personal protection measures, such as:
- earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,
- eye shield,
- respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts
inhalation,
- gloves for maintenance of cutting blades and other rough and
sharp materials (hold cutting blades by mount hole whenever
possible).
• Connect dust extraction system when cutting wood.
Safe work and maintenance
• Match cutting blade with material that you plan to cut.
