Batavia BT-CMT003 Mode D'emploi page 7

head work surfaces have an increased
safety risk for dust.
a. Wear protective, cut-proof gloves
when changing blades and accesso-
ries. Some blades and accessories can
be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen
as they are used. Blades and accesso-
ries shortly after use can be very hot,
allow to cool.
b. Keep your workplace clean. Dusts
created from different materials includ-
ing woods and metals can be highly
flammable. Dust from light alloys
including magnesium can burn or
explode easily.
c. DO NOT treat the work surface with
fluids containing solvents. If such
fluids become warm from scraping,
toxic vapours may be produced, or
surfaces may catch fire.
WARNING: NEVER fit any blade or acces-
sory with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of the power tool.
d. ONLY change accessories and blades
or perform maintenance with the tool
disconnected from its power supply,
either mains connection or battery. If
the tool features a captive battery in a
charged state take extra care not to
switch it on accidentally when changing
accessories or blades.
e. ALWAYS use accessories or blades
that are approved by the manufacturer
or meet the specification of your
power tool, this includes being com-
patible in size and speed. DO NOT try
to cut material thicker than the capacity
stated.
f. ONLY use an adapter for using differ-
ent accessories or blades if the
adapter is specifically designed and
approved by the manufacturer of your
power tool.
g. DO NOT modify accessories or blades
so they work with power tools they
were not intended to work with or for
uses that they were never designed
for.
h. DO NOT use accessories or blades
that are damaged, bent, chipped,
cracked, heavily corroded or exces-
sively worn. Such accessories can
break apart in use causing injury to the
operator. ALWAYS inspect accessories
or blades before use and discard imme-
diately if not in good condition. NEVER
use blades that are worn to a dull edge.
ALWAYS use sharp blades.
i. ALWAYS ensure all accessories or
blades are securely attached to the
tool before use and the securing tool
is removed prior to use.
j. DO NOT attempt to free a jammed
blade or accessory until the power
tool has been disconnected from
power.
k. Inspect the workpiece before use to
make sure it is in the correct condition
for the fitted accessory or blade.
Remove all nails, staples and other
embedded objects prior to starting
work.
l. Any freely movable workpieces should
be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m. ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is
adequate in the work area. Never
remove your safety goggles or glasses
to improve your view instead increase
the level of lighting or move the lighting
so it specifically illuminates the work
area correctly.
n. DO NOT operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Be especially
careful when cutting wood and metal.
Sparks from metal cutting are a com-
mon cause of wood dust fires.
o. Battery chargers are for indoors use
only. Ensure that the power supply and
charger are protected against moisture
at all times.
p. NEVER start the power tool while the
blade or accessory is in contact with
the workpiece, and always allow the
power tool to reach its full speed
before making contact with the work-
piece. Use the variable speed control of
the tool (if fitted) to start the tool at the
correct speed for the accessory or
blade fitted.
