Additional Safety Rules - Ryobi TSS121 Manuel D'utilisation

MITER SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 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.
 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.
 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.
 The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by
any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined,
i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
 Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
 Inspect tool cords periodically. If damaged, have re-
paired by a qualified service technician at an authorized
service facility. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating blade.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

4 − English
 Always use a clamp or a fixture 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.
 Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
 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 loss of control or damage to the
miter saw.
 After finishing 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.
 Hold the handle firmly 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 to be suddenly pulled downward, causing
a risk of injury.
 Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
 Polarized plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
 Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ansi Z87.1 when using this
product. Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
