Cut-Off Machine Safety Warning - Worx WX527 Manual Del Usuario

eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center
the saw blade in the kerf so that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) 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.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas . The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PLUNGE TYPE SAW
Guard function
a) Check the guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is
10
exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that the guard moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. the guard may operate sluggishly due
to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift
while performing the "plunge cut" . Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick back .
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing the 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 RULES
FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
1. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended
for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY
WARNING
a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off
wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
contro l.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally
break apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop
apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
