Intended Use; Cutting Procedures - Ayce 3285 Manuel D'utilisation

INTENDED USE

The machine is intended for making separating cuts and cutouts in wood, plastic,
metal, ceramic plates and rubber while resting firmly on the work-piece. It is suitable
for straight and curved cuts having miter angles of up to 45°.

Cutting procedures

!
D A N G E R
a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work-piece. The guard cannot protect you from
the blade below the work-piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-piece. Less than a full
tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the work-piece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg while cutting.
Secure the work-piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces , when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run off-centre, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
• kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade,
180731_ayce_3285_IM
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-piece toward the
operator;
• when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
• if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of
the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of
the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to
resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not
in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so
that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the work-piece 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 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.

appropriate)
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
