Triton TSA 001 Instrucciones De Uso Y De Seguridad página 5

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool's 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.
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.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be
sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified
on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result
in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in
doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with
a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to
operate this saw
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment
including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust
mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
• Always use recommended blades with correct size
and shape of arbor holes e.g. diamond or round.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of
the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control
• Power tools must always be held by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation,
ensuring protection if the cutting tool makes contact
with its own cord or hidden wiring. Contact with a
'live' wire will make exposed metal parts of the power
tool 'live' and shock the operator if the insulated
gripping surfaces are not used
• Ensure hands are away from the cutting area and
blade. Keep one hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the tool they cannot
be cut by the blade
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in
the Specifications section of this manual
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece i.e. less than a full tooth of the blade should
be visible below the workpiece
• Ensure that work is correctly supported. Large panels
may sag under their own weight and bind the saw
blade. Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, close to the line of cut and near the edge of
the panel
• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely
clear of the cutting path
• Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform,
ensuring that body exposure is minimised, avoiding
blade binding or loss of control
• For accuracy of cut, and to avoid blade binding, always
use a rip fence or straight edge guide
• Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across your
legs whilst cutting
• Always stand to one side when operating the saw
• Be aware that the blade will project from the underside
of the workpiece
• Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard
cannot protect you from the blade
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the
blade
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other
embedded objects prior to starting work
• Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the
blade whilst cutting
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece,
or if the blade binds in the cut, allow the blade to
come to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the
workpiece
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
disconnecting the machine from power
• Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst
cutting
• Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste
material may be projected at speed from the cutting
tool. It is the users responsibility to ensure that
other people in the work area are protected from the
possibility of projected waste
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw,
complete the process and switch off before diverting
your attention
• The blade bolt and washers were specially designed
for your saw. For optimum performance and safety of
operation never use damaged or incorrect bolt/blade
washers
• Regularly check the operation of the blade guard. If
the guard does not automatically cover the blade, have
the saw repaired before use
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
have not loosened, tighten where necessary
