Circular Saw Safety Warnings - SPARKY TK 70 Notice Originale

ures 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. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's 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. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting 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 op-
erations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for all saws
а) DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on auxiliary handle, or mo-
tor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. It is important to sup-
port the work properly to minimize body ex-
posure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Original instructions
e) Hold the power tool by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the ac-
curacy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mount-
ing hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of op-
eration.

Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-
piece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by
the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back to-
ward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and
jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
а) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when inter-
rupting a cut for any reason, release the
trigger and hold the saw motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
