Normal Intended Use; Residual Risks; Safe Working - ATIKA UZT 250 Mode D'emploi

Normal intended use

This pull-push saw is designed as circular table saw and pull
chop saw only for cutting lengthwise and crosswise solid
wood, plate material such as chip board, wood core plywood
and MDF board using HM saw blades. Only saw blades in
compliance with the norm EN 847-1 are allowed to be used
with this machine.
The use of saw blades made of HSS steel (high-alloy high
speed steel) is not permitted since this steel is hard and
brittle. Risk of injury through saw blade breakage and expul-
sion of saw blade pieces.
Cutting round material (posts, firewood, etc.) is not permit-
ted.
The diameter of the saw blade must lie between 245 and
250 mm.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the op-
erating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the
manufacturer and following the safety instructions included
in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the opera-
tion as well as the other generally acknowledged occupa-
tional medicine and safety rules must be complied with.
Any other use is deemed not to be intended use. The manu-
facturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting from
this: the user bears the sole risk.
Arbitrary modifications on the pull-push saw exclude a liabil-
ity of the manufacturer for damages of all kinds resulting
from it.
The saw may only be equipped, used and serviced by
persons who are familiar with it and have been instructed on
the hazards. Repair works may only be carried out by us or
by a customer service agent nominated by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive envi-
ronment or be exposed to rain.
Metallic parts (wires etc.) have unconditionally to be re-
moved from the material to be cut.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the rele-
vant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety instructions" and
the "Normal intended use" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Danger of injury of fingers and hands by the tool (saw blade)
or workpiece, e.g. when replacing the saw blade.
Injury by catapulted workpiece parts.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breaking or catapulting of saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical con-
nections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used
properly. If electrical tools are used, the fundamental safety
precautions must be met to preclude the risks of fire, elec-
tric shock and injuries to persons.
