Safety Rules For Tile Saws - Skil 3550 Manual Del Propietário

Use safety equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable. It allows for work to shift,
causes binding of the tool and loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool for purpose not intended.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "ON" or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges,
are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the
arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth
are also pointing in the same direction.
Inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in place. Check moving parts for
binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation or safety features
of the tool. If damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in
serious personal injury.
The use of any other accessories not specified in this manual may create a hazard.
Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous when used on
an inappropriate tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in misplacing internal wires and
components which could cause serious hazard.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a hazard.

SAFETY RULES FOR TILE SAWS

To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug tile saw into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected outlet only. If a GFCI protected outlet is not available, use a portable
receptacle with built-in GFCI protection .
Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any
adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may unintentionally start the saw, leading
to serious personal injury.
Be certain the tile saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before using.
A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the tile saw becoming unstable.
If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken ...
such as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety device or the power cord
... cease operating immediately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
