Aluminium Processing; Other Risks; Health Hazard By Dust - Festool KAPEX KS120 REB Manual De Instrucciones

English
– Only transport the saw blade in suitable
packaging. We recommend you use the
original packaging.
– Use only saw blades recommended by the
tool manufacturer, and suitable for sawing
the materials to be cut. This prevents over­
heating of the saw teeth during sawing.
3.4 Further safety instructions
Only use saw blades that correspond to
–
the specifications for intended use. Saw
blades that do not fit correctly with the as­
sembly parts will run unevenly and may
cause fragments to break off from the ma­
terial and be ejected. These fragments may
hit the eyes of the user or any persons
standing in the vicinity.
Only use saw blades with a chip angle ≤ 0°.
–
A chip angle > 0° will pull the saw into the
workpiece. There is a risk of injury caused
by saw kickback and the rotating work­
piece.
Before each use, check that the pendulum
–
guard is working correctly. Only use this
power tool when it is in perfect working or­
der.
– Never reach into the chip ejector with your
hands. Rotating parts may injure your
hands.
Dust that is harmful to your health may be
–
produced as you work (e.g. paint products
containing lead and some types of wood).
Aontact 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.

Aluminium processing

When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust
extractor.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo­
tor housing on the power tool.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
Wear protective goggles.
3.6 Laser-specific safety information
– Never direct the laser beam at people. It
may cause accidents as a result of the
glare.
Never look directly into the laser beam or
–
its reflection. However, if you make direct
contact with the laser beam, close your
eyes immediately and move your head from
the beam. Direct eye contact with the laser
beam can cause damage to the eye.
– Do not make any modifications to the la­
ser. A modified laser can generate addi­
tional risks.
3.7

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.

Health hazard by dust

WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
