Specific Safety Rules For Circular Saws - Fox F36-528A Manual De Instrucciones

1. DO NOT start the saw until it is assembled and installed according to the instructions of this manual.
2. ALWAYS USE the protective cap, the riving knife and the clamping device in order to cut the piece
completely. This means cutting the piece in all its depth.
3. ALWAYS PRESS the workpiece firmly against the oblique guide or on the rip fence.
4. USE always a clamping device in order to push the piece of wood through the blade and in particular to cut
small pieces. To get further information on the clamping device, check the sections regarding longitudinal
cutting in this manual.
5. NEVER work freehand. Always use the oblique guide or the rip fence to position and direct the piece you
are cutting.
6. ALWAYS KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE from the blade axe. KEEP the hands away from the blade's track.
7. DO NEVER keep your hands behind or over the blade and ensure that you and your hands are in a
comfortable position.
8. REMOVE the rip fence during cross cutting.
9. DO NOT USE the rip fence for cross cutting.
10. PUSH ALWAYS the piece you have to cut through the saw blade or the tool.
11. DO NOT TRY to remove the saw blade before switching off the tool. Also if you want to stop cutting, put the
switch on the OFF position and wait for the blade to stop rotating. You can perform tasks of any kind only if
the blade is still and the machine is disconnected from the power supply.
12. DO NOT remove wood piles caught between the blade and the inlet if the blade is rotating. You can
intervene after switching off the machine and having waited for the blade to stop rotating.
13. LEAN on a support the ends of big workpieces which come out sideways or behind the workbench.
14. AVOID workpieces hittig back in your direction by taking the following measures:
- Always use a sharp and suitable saw blade;
- Check the parallelism between the guide and the blade;
- Always use the riving knife, the clamping device and the protective cap;
- Never release the workpiece before it has been completely pushed through the saw;
- Do not saw bent or deformed workpieces which do not have a straight side that allows a regular
advancement along the guide.
15. NEVER USE thinners to clean the plastic pieces of the machine. Thinners can melt or damage the
material. Only use a damp cloth for cleaning plastic workpieces.
16. INSTALL the saw PERMANENTLY on a plane surface before using it.
17. DO NEVER CUT any metals or materials that can produce dangerous dust.
18. ALWAYS USE the table saw in a well ventilated area. Often remove the sawdust. Remove carefully the
sawdust that is inside the saw to avoid the risk of fire.
19. DO NOT use saw blades which are damaged or deformed or high speed blades in high alloy ( as for
example HSS ).
20. USE only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, in compliance with EN 847-1 standard.
21. USE only correct saw blades, which are suitable to the material to be cut and on which the marked speed
is higher than the one of the machine. When changing the blade, check if external diameter and bore
diameter are correct, that cutting width and the blade body are not thinner than the riving knife width.
Transport the saw blade inside its case.
22. CHANGE the plastic table inlay which is located on the table around the blade when worn or damaged.
23. USE this table saw only to cut wood and similar materials.
24. CHECK often if the supply cable is damaged, and in this case get it repaired by an authorised after sales
centre. Check often the extension cord and change it if it is damaged.
25. CONNECT the machine to a dust-collecting device and USE ear protective devices and the dust mask.
