13- Do not operate the power tool while carrying it. An accidental contact with the rotating accessory
could catch your clothes and direct the cutting accessory towards you.
14- Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
15- Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16- Do not use cutting accessories that require coolant. The use of water or other coolants may result in
electric shock or electric shock.
17- Warning! Fire hazard! Avoid workpiece and/or power tool overheating.
Always empty the dust collection bag before taking a work break. Dust particles in the dust bag, micro filter,
paper bag (or in the fabric dust bag or vacuum cleaner filter) may ignite on their own under unfavorable
conditions, e.g. projection of sparks when sanding metal parts, in particular when the dust particles are
mixed with residues of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical substances and the workpieces become very
hot after a long period of work.
3.4- Specific Safety Instructions for all saws
3.4.1- Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work
piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the work piece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work piece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 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
exposed 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 accuracy 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 mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, 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 operation.
3.4.2- Kickback causes and related warnings
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- 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 toward 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 incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) 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 interrupting 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 the saw from
the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
