Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2736-20 Manuel De L'utilisateur page 3

• 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 burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
TABLE SAWS
Guarding related warnings
• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must
be repaired or replaced.
• Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and
anti-kickback device for every through–cutting
operation. For through-cutting operations where the
saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of
the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
• Immediately reattach the guarding system after
completing an operation (such as rabbeting,
dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal
of the guard, riving knife and/or anti-kickback
device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
device help to reduce the risk of injury.
• Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the
switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these
items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
• Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
• For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to
work, they must be engaged in the workpiece.
The riving knife and anti-kickback device are inef-
fective when cutting workpieces that are too short to
be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be
prevented by the riving knife and antikickback device.
• Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the
saw blade diameter must match the appropriate
riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be
thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the
cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than
the thickness of the riving knife.
Cutting procedures warnings
• Never place your fingers or hands
DANGER
in the vicinity or in line with the
saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could
direct your hand towards the saw blade and result
in serious personal injury.
• Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter
only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the
workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is
rotating above the table may result in the workpiece,
and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
• Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece
when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a
length stop when cross cutting with the mitre
gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence
and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
• When ripping, always apply the workpiece feed-
ing force between the fence and the saw blade.
Use a push stick when the distance between the
fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm,
and use a push block when this distance is less
than 50 mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your
hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
• Use only the push stick provided by the manu-
facturer or constructed in accordance with the
instructions. This push stick provides sufficient
distance of the hand from the saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into
the saw blade.
• Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always
use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to
position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand"
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge.
Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding
and kickback.
• Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental
contact with the moving saw blade.
• Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear
and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or
wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/
or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the
table's edge, causing loss of control, saw blade
binding and kickback.
• Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or
twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the
tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear
the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece
can cause kickback or stall the motor.
• Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while
the saw is running. The material may become
trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade
guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the
saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw
blade stops before removing material.
• Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table
top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm
thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip
fence and create a kickback.
