Safety Warnings - Makita DLS600 Manual De Instrucciones

Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, aluminum or
similar materials.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN62841-3-9:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L ) : 97 dB (A)
WA
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
WARNING:
The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is
used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-3-9:
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive 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 when-
2.
ever possible. 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.
3. 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.
4. Never cross your hand over the intended line
of cutting 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.
► Fig.1
5. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proxim-
ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
6. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece 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.
