Safety Instructions For The Operation Of Circular Saw Benches - Mafell ERIKA 60 Traduction De La Notice D'emploi Originale

3.4 Safety instructions for the operation of
circular saw benches
- Turn off the circular saw and disconnect it from
the power supply before removing the bench
insert, changing the saw blade, adjusting the
riving knife/splitter or the protective cover of
the saw blade, and when leaving the machine
unattended. Precautions aim to prevent accidents.
- Never let the circular saw bench run
unattended. Switch off the power tool and do
not leave it until it has come to a complete
stop. A saw running unattended poses an
uncontrolled hazard.
- Children and adolescents must not operate this
machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised by
an expert.
- Make sure that no other persons, in particular
children, are present in the work area.
- Set up the circular saw bench in a place that is
level and well lit, where you can stand safely
and keep your balance. The place of
installation must offer enough space to
comfortably handle
workpieces. Disorder, unlit working areas and
uneven, slippery floors can lead to accidents.
- Consider environmental influences. Do not
expose the machine to rain and avoid working in a
damp or wet environment as well as near
combustible liquids or gases.
- Regularly remove wood shavings and sawdust
under the saw bench, from the dust extraction
and/or the guides of moving parts. Accumulated
sawdust is combustible and can self-ignite.
- Secure the circular saw bench. An improperly
secured circular saw bench can move or tip over.
- Remove any adjusting tools, wood remnants,
etc. from the circular saw bench before
switching it on. Deflection or possible jamming
can be dangerous.
- Always use correctly sized saw blades with
matching mounting hole (e.g. diamond-shaped
or round). Saw blades that do not match the
the size of your
-29-
mounting parts of the saw will run out-of-centre
and lead to a loss of control.
- Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting materials such as flanges, washers,
bolts or nuts. This saw blade mounting material
has been specially designed for your saw to
ensure safe operation and optimum performance.
- Never stand on the circular saw bench and do
not use the circular saw bench as a step stool.
Serious injury may occur if the power tool tips over
or if you accidentally come into contact with the
saw blade.
- Make sure that the saw blade is mounted in the
correct direction of rotation. Do not use any
grinding wheels or wire brushes with the
circular saw bench. Improper installation of the
saw blade or the use of unrecommended
accessories may result in serious injury.
- Do not use any saw blades made of high-alloy
high-speed steel (HSS saw blades).
- Do not make any changes to the machine that
could compromise safety.
- Only use rubber-insulated extension cords
(e.g. HO7 RN-F) with a cross section of at least
1.5 mm² when working outdoors and make sure
that the cord is not pulled over sharp edges.
- Install and lead the electrical connection cord
away from the machine in such a way that
there is no danger of stumbling at the operator
station.
- Cutting of round timber is not permitted with
the standard stops and feed aids.
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Do
not saw into metal parts, e.g. nails, since this could
damage the sensitive carbide blades.
- Only begin cutting the workpiece when the saw
blade has achieved its full speed.
- The wood dust generated during cutting
impairs the necessary visibility and is partly
harmful to health. The machine must therefore be
connected to a sawdust extractor, e.g. a portable
small extractor, if the work is not carried out
outdoors or in a sufficiently ventilated room. At the
