Specific Safety Instructions - Evolution R210SMS Notice Originale

Once the dust has been deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
WARNING: Some wood and wood type
(2.8)
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health. We recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine, in
addition to using the dust extraction facility.
MITRE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
(3.5)
• Not to use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
• Use only the saw with guards in good
working order and properly maintained,
and in position.
• Always to clamp work-pieces to
the saw table.
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used
with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting
ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs,
etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as
the lower guard to jam. Sparks from
abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the
kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep
your hand at least 150mm from either side
of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to
cut pieces that are too small to be securely
clamped or held by hand. If your hand is
placed too close to the saw blade, there is an
increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence
and the table. Do not feed the workpiece
into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be
thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece.
Do not pull the saw through the workpiece.
To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull
it out over the workpiece without cutting,
start the motor, press the saw head down and
push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting
on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw
blade to climb on top of the workpiece and
violently throw the blade assembly towards
the operator.
NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a
simple pivoting arm mitre saw.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended
line of cutting either in front or behind the
saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross
handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of
the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either
hand closer than 150mm from either side of
the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for
any other reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to
your hand may not be obvious and you may be
seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it
with the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should
be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for
the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces
of wood or other objects that contact the
revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked
multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade
or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed
on a level, firm work surface before use. A
level and firm work surface reduces the risk of
the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change
the bevel or mitre angle setting, make
sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to
support the workpiece and will not interfere
with the blade or the guarding system.
