Safety Instructions For Miter Saws - Metabo HPT C 10FCG Mode D'emploi

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off .
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power toolʼs 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 diff erent from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and
infi rm persons.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAWS

a) Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they
cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous
material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other
plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If
supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your
hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use
this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or
held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased
risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against
both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the
blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds,
causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through
the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out
over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw
head down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top
of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the
operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in
front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the
right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm
from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for
any other reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious
and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed
or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece,
fence and table along the line of the cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on
tile spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps,
etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, fi rm work
surface before use.
A level and fi rm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming
unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle
setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support
the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding
system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move
the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be
no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
I) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses,
etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely
supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard
or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or
as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper
into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means
against the spinning saw blade.
If confi ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fi xture designed to properly support round
material such as rods or tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite"
and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off .
Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free
the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause lass of control
or damage to the miter saw.
r) After fi nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down
and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle fi rmly when making an incomplete cut or when
releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down
position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly
pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
