Residual Risks; Package Contents - DeWalt DW718 Traducido De Las Instrucciones Originales

• Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn. Refer to service parts list included.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance work or when changing the blade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is
still running and the head is not in the rest position.
• When possible, always mount the machine to a bench,
• If you use an LED to indicate the cutting line, make sure that the LED is
of class 2 according to EN 60825-1. Do not replace an LED diode with
a different type. If damaged, have the LED repaired by an authorised
repair agent.
• The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting.
Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying debris, they are
openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times
when viewing through the louvers.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood.
Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as:
-– type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust
than wood);
-– sharpness of the saw blade;
-– correct adjustment of the saw blade,
-– dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20m/s.
Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are
properly adjusted.
• Please be aware of the following factors influencing exposure
to noise:
-– use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise;
-– use only well sharpened saw blades;
• Machine maintenance shall be conducted periodically;
• Provide adequate general or localized lighting;
• Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings are suitable for the purpose
as stated in this manual.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from
the cutting area while the machine is running and the saw head is not in
the rest position
• Never cut workpieces shorter than 30 mm.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the
maximum workpiece size of:
– Height 90 mm by width 345 mm by length 600 mm
– Longer workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional
table, e.g. DE7023. Always clamp the workpiece safely.
• In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine
off and disconnect machine from the power source.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent
other people from using the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during
cutting, turn the machine off and disconnect it from power supply.
Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn
the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed
force.
• Never cut light alloy, especially magnesium.
• Whenever the situation allows, mount the machine to a bench using
bolts with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length (fig.j).
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and
operation of the machine.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the blade.
- Risk of squeezing fi ngers when opening the guards.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
– No dust extractor connected when sawing wood.
– Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters.
