Safety Instructions For The Preassembled Saw Blade - Festool HK 85 EB Manual De Instrucciones

blades with a thicker blade core. To en­
sure that the guide wedge functions prop­
erly, make sure the blade core of the saw
blade is thinner than the guide wedge and
that the tooth width is greater than the
thickness of the guide wedge. Expect in­
creased risk of kickback when using a
thicker saw blade.
Do not operate the saw if the guide wedge
b.
is bent. Even the slightest problem can
cause the guard to close more slowly.
2.3 Safety instructions for the pre-
assembled saw blade
Usage
– The maximum speed specified on the saw
blade must not be exceeded and the speed
range must be adhered to.
– Pre-assembled saw blade intended exclu­
sively for use in circular saws.
– Proceed with extreme care when unpack­
ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in­
stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of
injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
– When handling the tool, wearing safety
gloves provides a more secure hold of the
tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
– Circular saw blades with cracked bodies
must be replaced. Repair is not permitted.
– Circular saw blades with a combination de­
sign (saw teeth soldered in) with saw tooth
dimensions smaller than 1 mm may no lon­
ger be used.
– Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
– Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
– When assembling the tools, it must be en­
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
tool, and that the cutting edges do not
come into contact with one another or the
fixed clamps.
– Retaining screws and nuts must be tight­
ened using suitable keys, etc. and with the
torque specified by the manufacturer.
– Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting
with a hammer.
– The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to
remove contamination, grease, oil and wa­
ter.
– Clamping screws must be tightened ac­
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that
have been pressed in or those that are held
in position by an adhesive bond, may be
used to adjust the hole diameter of circular
saw blades to the spindle diameter of the
machine. The use of loose rings is not per­
mitted.
Service and maintenance
– Repairs and sanding work may only be car­
ried out by Festool customer service work­
shops or experts.
– The tool design must not be changed.
– Deresinify and clean the tool regularly
(cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
– Blunt edges can be resharpened on the
clamping surface to a minimum cutting
edge thickness of 1 mm.
– Only transport the tool in suitable packag­
ing – risk of injury!
2.4 Further safety instructions
– This electric power tool cannot be instal­
led in a work bench. The electric power
tool may become unsafe and cause serious
accidents if installed in benches from other
manufacturers or self-manufactured work
benches.
– Never place your hands into the chip ejec­
tor. You may injure yourself on rotating
parts.
Use suitable detectors to determine if util­
–
ity lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assis­
tance. Aontact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a
water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
– Wait until the power tool stops completely
until placing it down. The tool can become
entangled and lead to a loss of control of
the power tool.
– Do not use the machine for overhead work.
Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­
–
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood and metal). Inhaling
or coming into contact with this dust may
represent a hazard for operating personnel
or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the
safety regulations that apply in your coun­
try.
Wear a P2 dust mask to protect your
health.
