DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
DETAILS OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS
WITHOUT RIVING KNIFE
CAUTION:
Neglecting the instructions specified in the below warnings about
risks and guidelines for safety of use may cause risks of electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the sow, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect
you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less that
a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated surfaces gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or starting edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus
round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade
washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down,
the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
towards the operator;
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be taking proper precautions as given
below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your
arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of
the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw
to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in
motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
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 cause kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
58G008
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 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.
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracing handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such
as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower 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 path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Additional safety instructions
Precautions
a) Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.
b) Do not use grinding wheels.
c) Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the manufacturer
and comply with the standard EN 847-1.
d) Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.
e) Dust of certain wood types may be dangerous to health. Direct physical
contact with dusts may cause allergic reaction and/or respiratory
system diseases of operator or bystanders. Dusts of oak and beech are
considered carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood
processing substances (wood impregnants).
f) Use personal protection measures, such as:
- earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,
- eye shield,
- respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts
inhalation,
- gloves for maintenance of cutting blades and other rough and sharp
materials (hold cutting blades by mount hole whenever possible).
g) Connect dust extraction system when cutting wood.
Safe work and maintenance
a) Match cutting blade with material that you plan to cut.
b) Never use the saw for cutting materials other than wood and wood-like.
c) Do not use the saw without guard or when the guard is blocked.
d) Floor close to the machine work place must be kept tidy and without
loose materials and protrusions.
e) Provide appropriate work place illumination.
f) Machine operator must be properly trained for use, operation and
working with the machine.
g) Use only sharp cutting blades.
h) Observe maximum speed indicated on the cutting blade.
i) Make sure to use parts in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
