Normal Intended Use; Residual Risks; Security Instructions - ATIKA BMS 250 Instructions D'utilisation

Normal intended use

The bench-type circular saw is intended exclusively for
ripping and cross-cutting solid wood and panel materials
such as chipboard, core-board and medium density
fiberboard with square or rectangular cross-section using
carbide tipped saw blades, whereby only saw blades
conforming to EN 847-1 are accepbench.
The use of saw blades made of HSS steel (high-alloy high
speed steel) is not permitted since this steel is hard and
brittle. Risk of injury through saw blade breakage and
expulsion of saw blade pieces.
Cutting round material (posts, firewood, etc.) is not
permitted.
The diameter of the saw blade must lie between 245 and
254 mm.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the safety instructions
included in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Independently made alterations to the circular saw preclude
any liability of the manufacturer for resulting damages of
any kind.
The circular saw may only be equipped, used and
serviced by persons who are familiar with these and have
been instructed in the hazards. Repair works may only be
carried out by us or by a customer service agent nominated
by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metal parts (nails, etc.) must be removed from the timber to
be sawn.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Danger of injury of fingers and hands by the tool (saw
blade) or work piece, e.g. when replacing the saw blade.
Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and expulsion of saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
