Safety Instructions For Mitre Saws - Stanley FATMAX FME720 Manual Del Usuario

ENGLISH
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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. 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.

Safety Instructions for Mitre Saws

a. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive
cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving
parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from
abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf
insert and other plastic parts.
b. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to
cut pieces that are too small to be securely
clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too
close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of
injury from blade contact.
c. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not
feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand"
in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could
be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.

(Original instructions)
d. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut,
raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through the
workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause
the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and
violently throw the blade assembly towards
the operator.
e. Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your
left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of
the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make
certain that there is no gap between the workpiece,
fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or
warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause
binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There
should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
h. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with
high speed.
i. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm
work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
k. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and
will not interfere with the blade or the guarding
system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no
workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a
complete simulated cut to assure there will be no
interference or danger of cutting the fence.
l. Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top.
