wolfcraft FKS 115 Manual De Instrucciones página 13

• Check before starting to work, whether equipment and tools function properly. Never work with damaged or blunt
tools.
• Have your power tools only repaired by duly qualified personnel. Demand original spares, so that the safety of the
power tool remains ensured.
• Pull the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery pack from the power tools before you change the setting of
your equipment or before you replace any components. The unin-tentional re-start of a power tool may cause accidents.
• Put up the machine table properly before installing the power tool. The table's safe assembly is vital to prevent it from
collapsing.
• Do not process any other materials than wood or easily machinable plastic.
• The machines used must conform to DIN EN 60745-1. Equipment built after 1995 must bear the CE sign.
• Use the tools for their intended purpose only.
• Make regular checks, whether all screws are tightened firmly!
• Use the dust extraction of your hand-held circular saw.
• Do not tamper with the guide bar to use other machines on the rail.
• Make sure the saw blade always runs parallel to the carriage or to the guide bar.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
• Apart from these machine-specific safety instructions, do also observe the safety instruc-tions for the hand-held circular
saw you work with.
• Only use hand-held circular saws with splitting wedge, with a maximum saw blade diame-ter of 200 mm and a maximum
cutting depth of 66 mm.
• Use only saws within the above maximum dimensions for the base plate (see Fig. 5).
• Support long work pieces at the removal side, so that they rest in a horizontal position; e.g. with a wolfcraft
roller trestle (Art. No. 6119973).
• Avoid overloading the hand-held circular saw.
• Do not use grinding pads.
• Use only recommended brands of saw blades and select them depending on the material to be sawn.
• DANGER: Keep your hands off the sawing area and the saw blade.
• Be always aware that the work piece can be caught by the running saw blade and hit the operator.
• A back stroke is the result of using the saw incorrectly and/or for a wrong application. It can be prevented by suitable
precautionary measures, as described below.
• Keep the saw firmly with both hands and put your arms in a position, so that you can ab-sorb the back stroke forces.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade; never align your body with the saw blade. In the event of a back stroke,
the circular saw can jump back-wards, although the operator should be able to master the situation by taking suitable
pre-cautionary measures.
• Should the saw blade be jammed or should you interrupt your work, always switch off the saw and keep it steady in the
material until the saw blade has come to a standstill. Never try to remove the saw from the work piece or pull it back-
wards, as long as the saw blade is rotating,
as this may result in a back stroke. Find out the reason why the saw blade is jammed and eliminate the cause.
• If you wish to re-start a saw that is still in the work piece, centre the saw blade in the saw gap and check, whether saw
teeth might be blocked
in the work piece. If the saw blade jams, it may free itself from the work piece or cause a back stroke during the re-start
of the saw.
• Support large plates, in order to minimize the risk of a back stroke caused by a jammed saw blade. Large plates may
bend under their own weight. Plates must be supported on both sides, both near the saw gap and at the edge.
• Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly set teeth will increase the friction
at the narrow saw gap, cause the saw blade to jam and may result in a back stroke.
• Take extra care when making a „plunge cut" into an existing wall or other concealed areas. The immersing saw blade
may block in concealed objects and cause a back stroke.
Scope of supply and assembly
• Take the guide bar FKS 115 out of the cardboard box and check, whether all parts in the illustration are complete (Fig. 1).
• Assemble the holder with the fastening elements provided on the mounting plate. Then insert the mounting plate
