▪
Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
▪
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt where specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety
of operation.
▪
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guard
does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard
with the blade exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check
to make sure that guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
▪
Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring do not operate properly, they must be serviced before use. Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Working with drills:
▪
When using the tool, use safety equipment including safety
glasses and ear protection. If operating the tool causes
discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your
method of use.
▪
Dispose of used packaging material carefully or store it out of the reach of
children. There is a danger of suffocation!
▪
Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities are not allowed to use
the unit, unless they are supervised and briefed for their safety by a qualified
person.
▪
Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and
charger are protected against moisture at all times.
▪
Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines.
Avoid touching live components or conductors.
▪
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
▪
Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be
ejected from the machine causing a hazard.
▪
Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up
the tool.
▪
Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the
workpiece.
▪
Do not exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life.
▪
Drill bits get hot during operation; allow cooling prior to handling them.
▪
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit.
