When connecting / disconnecting the machine to / from the pneumatic supply, please
pay careful attention not to actuate the start lever while doing so. Never remove a pressurized
pneumatic hose. Always switch the power supply off first and then depressurize the machine by
pressing the valve latch.
The maximum operating pressure (flow pressure) according to the technical specification
must not be exceeded. A pressure regulator has to be installed, which regulates the pressure
before it reaches the machine. Never direct a pneumatic hose at yourself or anyone else. Never
clean your clothes with compressed air. Direct cold air away from your hands. Do not pull or
carry the machine by the pneumatic hose. When using claw couplings make sure that they are
fitted with a suitable lock mechanism (e. g. lock pin) and a safety chain.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
Before starting work make sure that the hands are protected against:
impacts, crushing, hits, cuts, abrasions and heat. The operating and maintenance personnel
must be physically able to handle the bulk, the weight, the power and/or the torque of the
machine.
Do not use the machine if you have taken any medication or drugs, after drinking alcohol or
with any other constraints on your vision, reaction or judgment.
Work in the best possible position so that you can react with both hands to any normal or
unexpected movements of the machine. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing
in order to avoid improper strain and to be able to support the reaction torque of the machine.
Additionally, consider the following:
- Operate the machine only after having carefully read the operation manual.
- If the machine shows any signs of abnormal operation and performance, work must be
stopped instantly and the machine has to be serviced or repaired.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrenches before turning the tool on. Do not overreach. Keep a
proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
- Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle.
If both hands are holding the pneumatic circular saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Do not
reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
work piece.
- Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece.
- Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the work piece.
- Never hold the work piece to be cut by hand or above your leg.
- Secure the work piece on a stable support. It is important to fix the work piece solidly, in order
to minimize hazards of body contact, clamping saw blade or the loss of control.
- When ripping, always use the rip fence. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance for blade binding.
