Personal Safety; Additional Safety Rules For Circular Saws - DeWalt DW930 Guide D'utilisation

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should also
be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool
with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to a loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the
locked or off position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
