Additional Specific Safety Rules - eXact PipeCut V1000 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

Safety
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre 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.
d) 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.
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 making a "plunge
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety instructions for plunge
type saws
a) Check 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 with the blade
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.
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. Guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the "plunge
cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at
90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding
and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering
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 bath. Be aware of the time it
takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Additional specific safety rules

The pipe saw must never be used in the following
cases, if:
• There is water or another liquid, explosive gases
or poisonous chemicals inside the pipe to be cut.
• The power switch is faulty.
• The power cable is faulty,
• The blade is bent.
• The blade is blunt or in poor condition.
• The plastic components are cracked or have parts
missing.
• The gripper unit is not properly tightened around
the pipe or if it is warped.
• The blade guard cover or moving blade guard
has been damaged or removed from the machine.
• The locking mechanisms do not work properly
(UNLOCK-button).
• The pipe saw has become wet.
When using the pipe saw, the following factors
must always be taken into consideration:
• Support tubes to minimise the risk of blade
pinching.
• Ensure that the pipe to be cut is empty.
• Ensure that the blade is correctly installed.
• Ensure that the diameter and thickness of the
blade are suitable for the pipe saw and that the
blade is suitable for the rpm-range of the machine.
• Never use sideways force to stop the blade, always
allow the blade to stop freely.
• Check the attachments of the blade guards.
• Never use excessive force when using the pipe
saw.
• Never use the pipe saw to lift the pipe while it is
still attached to the pipe.
• Avoid overloading the electric motor.
• Always follow the safety and operating instructions
and current regulations.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should
be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Accessories
running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool
speed as shown on tool nameplate.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss. When
working with various materials, the sound level may
vary and at times exceed the 85 dB(A) limit. Always
use ear protectors to protect yourself.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Always use safety goggles to prevent injury
to your eyes from particles thrown up when using
the pipe saw. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty (cast iron cutting). ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
