2.4 Further safety instructions
Only use saw blades that correspond to
–
the specifications for intended use. Saw
blades that do not fit correctly with the as­
sembly parts will run unevenly and may
cause fragments to break off from the ma­
terial and be ejected. These fragments may
hit the eyes of the user or any persons
standing in the vicinity.
Only use saw blades with a chip angle ≤ 0°.
–
A chip angle > 0° will pull the saw into the
workpiece. There is a risk of injury caused
by saw kickback and the rotating work­
piece.
– The power tool should only be used indoors
and in a dry environment.
– Before each use, check that the pendulum
guard is working correctly. Only use this
power tool when it is in perfect working or­
der.
Never reach into the chip ejector with your
–
hands. Rotating parts may injure your
hands.
– Dust that is harmful to your health may be
produced as you work (e.g. paint products
containing lead and some types of wood).
Contact with or inhalation of this dust may
pose a risk for the operating personnel or
persons in the vicinity. Observe the safety
regulations that apply in your country.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con­
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– Replace any sawn-off or damaged limit
stops. Damaged limit stops may be ejected
when you work with the saw. Any persons
standing in the vicinity of the saw may be
injured.
– Only use original Festool accessories and
consumables. Only accessories tested and
approved by Festool are safe and perfectly
adapted to the machine and application.
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
–
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2.5

Aluminium processing

When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
18
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust
extractor.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo­
tor housing on the power tool.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
Wear protective goggles.
2.6

Other risks

In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present them­
selves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
– Touching rotating parts from the side: Saw
blade, clamping flange, flange screw,
– Touching live parts when the housing is
open and the mains plug is still plugged in,
– Workpiece parts being thrown off,
– Parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
– Noise emissions,
– Dust emissions.
2.7

Emission levels

Levels determined in accordance with EN 62841
are typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
The declared noise emission values
– have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another,
– may also be used in a preliminary assess­
ment of exposure.
