Miter Saw Safety Rules - RIDGID R41121 Manual Del Operador

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.

MITER SAW SAFETY RULES

 Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off
wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods,
studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as
the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will
burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic
parts.
 Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever pos-
sible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must
always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either
side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces
that are too small to be securely clamped or held by
hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
 The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed
the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any
way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown
at high speeds, causing injury.
 Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the
saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the
saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without
cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down
and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on
the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb
on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
 Never cross your hand over the intended line of cut-
ting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting
the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece
to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice
versa is very dangerous.

bind and are easier to control.

account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while
the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw
blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be
seriously injured.
is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed
face toward the fence. Always make certain that there
is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table
along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can
twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw
blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small
debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that con-
tact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
firm work surface before use. A level and firm work
surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming un-
stable.
miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence
is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not
interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without
turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to
assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting
the fence.
