Personal safety
a)
Do not use the device when tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or medication which
can significantly impair the ability to operate the device.
b)
When working with the device, use common sense and stay alert. Temporary loss of concentration
whilst using the device may lead to serious injuries.
c)
Use personal protection equipment as required for working with the device, specified in section 1
(Legend). The use of correct, approved personal protection equipment reduces the risk of suffering an
injury.
d)
To prevent the device from accidentally switching on, make sure the switch is on the OFF position
before connecting to a power source.
e)
Do not overestimate your abilities. When using the device keep your balance and remain stable at all
times. This will ensure better control over the device in unexpected situations.
f)
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
g)
If suction is to be connected to the device, check all connections and make sure they are tight. Using a
de-dusting system may reduce the risk associated with dust.
h)
Remove all adjusting tools or spanners before turning the device on. A tool or spanner left in the
revolving part of the device may cause injury.
2.4.
Safe device use
a)
Do not overload the device. Use appropriate tools for the given task. A correctly selected device will
perform the task for which it was designed better and in a safer manner.
b)
Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not function properly (does not switch the device on
and off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should
not be operated and have to be repaired.
c)
Make sure the plug is disconnected from the socket before attempting any adjustments, tool
replacements or before putting the device aside. Such precautions will reduce the risk of accidentally
activating the device.
d)
When not in use, store in a safe place, away from children and people not familiar with the device,
who have not read the user manual. The device may pose a hazard in the hands of inexperienced
users.
e)
Maintain the device in a good technical state. Before each use check for general damage and
especially check for cracked parts or elements and for any other conditions which may impact the safe
operation of the device. If damage is discovered, hand over the device for repair before use.
f)
Keep the device out of the reach of children.
g)
Device repair or maintenance should be carried out by qualified persons, only using original spare
parts. This will ensure safe use.
h)
To ensure the operational integrity of the device, do not remove factory fitted guards and do not
loosen any screws.
i)
When transporting and handling the device between the warehouse and the destination, take into
account the occupational health and safety principles for manual transport operations which apply in
the country where the device will be used.
j)
Avoid situations where the device halts during use due to excessive loading. This may result in
overheating of the drive elements and device damage.
k)
Do not touch articulated parts or accessories, unless the device has been disconnected from a power
source.
l)
Do not use damaged, cracked or deformed saw blades.
m) Never use damaged or improper seals and screws that fasten the cutting disc. The seals and bolts
installed are suitably designed for a given saw in order to increase productivity and safety of use.
n)
Use discs of appropriate size and shape. Using a wrong disc may result in loss of control over the
device.
o)
Note: Keep hands away from the cutting surface and cutting blade. Hold the other hand on the
additional saw handle. If both hands hold the saw, it is not possible to injure the hands with the blade.
p)
Do not reach under the workpiece with your hand in the course of the saw operation. The blade shield
does not protect the user from contact with the blade below the workpiece.
