Specific Safety Rules - Metabo C 3607DWA Manual

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material.
If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both
sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making the cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard
may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts".
Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle
and as soon as the blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing the saw down on bench
or fl oor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.

Others
1. ALWAYS wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts to
lead personal injury. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any power tool can
throw foreign objects into eyes and could cause
permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety
Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety
standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact–resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety
glasses.
3. Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
necessary, this could include:
hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced
●
hearing loss;
eye protection;
●
respiratory protection which are approved by
●
NIOSH/OSHA to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust;
gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall
●
be carried in a holder wherever practicable) and
rough material.
4. Keep alert. Never operate the saw when you feel tired
or when you are under the the infl uence of any drugs,
alcohol or medication that could aff ect your ability to
use the tool properly.
5. Keep the working environment well ventilated. Some
dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Therefore, work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
fi lter out microscopic particles.
6. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
7. To prevent from fi re or toxic reactio, never use
gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar
highly volatile solvents to clean the saw.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and
bevel adjustments are tight.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from work piece before cutting.
3. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it
will not be caught on the workpiece during the
cutting operation.
