ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
1.
Only use saw blades recommended in the
specification.
2.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3.
Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with
the markings.
4.
Identify the correct saw blade to be used for
the material to be cut.
5.
Use only saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
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 bonded reinforced or diamond
cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just
because an accessory can be attached to your
6
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. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
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)
Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized 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.
20V Cordless Brushless Circular saw
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 abrasive or
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. 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 accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumulation
of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
r)
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
