Other Risks; Sawing Aluminium; Emission Levels; Intended Use - Festool KSC 60 EB Manual De Instrucciones

Contact with or inhalation of this dust may
pose a risk for the operating personnel or
persons in the vicinity. Observe the safety
regulations that apply in your country.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con­
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– Replace any sawn-off or damaged limit
stops. Damaged limit stops may be ejected
when you work with the saw. Any persons
standing in the vicinity of the saw may be
injured.
– Only use original Festool accessories and
consumables. Only accessories tested and
approved by Festool are safe and perfectly
adapted to the machine and application.
– The power tool should only be used indoors
and in a dry environment.
Do not use power supply units or third-
–
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg­
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
– Check whether there are any signs of dam­
age to the housing components, such as
cracks or stress whitening. Have any dam­
aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
Do not look directly at the light. Opti­
cal radiation can damage the eyes.
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
–
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Other risks

In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present them­
selves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
– Touching rotating parts from the side: Saw
blade, clamping flange, flange screw,
– Touching live parts when the housing is
open and the mains plug is still plugged in,
– Workpiece parts being thrown off,
– Parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
– Noise emissions,
– Dust emissions.

Sawing aluminium

When sawing aluminium, the following meas­
ures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Wear protective goggles.
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust
extractor with an antistatic suction hose.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo­
tor housing on the power tool.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubrica­
ted with petroleum, but thin-walled profiles
(up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica­
tion.
Do not use water cooling. This can cause a
–
short-circuit.

Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with
EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
The specified noise emission values
– have been measured in accordance with a
standardised test procedure, can be used
to compare one power tool with another,
– and can also be used for a provisional as­
sessment of the load.
CAUTION
Depending on how the power tool is used,
particularly which type of workpiece is being
machined, the noise emitted by the power
tool during use may deviate from the speci­
fied values.
► To protect the operator, safety measures
should be defined based on load estimates
obtained under real conditions of use. (All
parts of the operating cycle must be taken
into account here, including, for example,
times in which the power tool is switched
off or when it is switched on but idling.)

Intended use

The power tool is a stationary unit designed for
sawing blocks of wood, plastic, non-ferrous
metals and similar materials. Do not use it to
