•
Always wear hearing protection
•
Only use blade diameter in accordance with
the marking label
•
Have a suitable, tested vacuum removal
device attached to the saw when working with
woods or materials that create dusts that may
be hazardous to health.
•
When cutting plastics, avoid to overheat the
blade, avoid to melt the plastic!
•
Be careful when handling the saw blades
as they are sharp and can cause injury. It is
recommended to wear protective gloves when
handling the saw blades.
•
Beware when changing blades as they can
become hot during use. Allow the blade time
to cool before replacing.
•
Always store the saw blades in a safe place
Safety instructions for diamond cutting-off
operations
Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The
guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage.
f)
Blank
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
Ferm
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
i)
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.
If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart
during this test time.
j)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must
be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
l)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
