Electrical Safety - Ferm TSM1032 Traduction De La Notice Originale

• When wood residues are trapped between
stationary and moving parts switch the
appliance off and remove the plug from the
electrical socket. Only then remove the residues.
• Select the appropriate saw blade.
• Select the saw blade (with the correct teeth)
and the correct speed of rotation and slip
appropriate for the material to be sawed and
fit the saw blade carefully. This will not only
increase the lifetime of the saw blade but
also prevent cracks and fissures with their
attendant hazards. Fit only recommended saw
blades that meet European standard EN847.
• Do not saw pegs or sharp-cornered workpieces.
• This is hazardous. Saw pegs or sharp-
cornered workpieces with an appliance
designed for that purpose (a peg cutter or
milling machine) and not with a saw bench.
• Exercise care when sawing waste or firewood.
• Waste or firewood often requires less careful
sawing, so there is a danger that you may not
be quite so alert to irregularities in the wood
and impose too much pressure on the saw.
• Use a table extender for large workpieces.
• When sawing large workpieces, support the
workpiece at table level with a table extender.
• The push-stick or push-block should always
be stored with the machine when not in use.
Examples of problems arising from improper
use of the saw bench
• Contact with rotating saw blade
• This can occur when the protective elements
(such as the protective hood, the protection
under the table surface, the riving knife, the
push stick) are missing or are used improperly.
Improper operation of the protective elements
can result in accidents. When the machine is
switched off, the saw blade may continue to
rotate. There is a risk of your not noticing this
because the appliance falls silent. That is why
the protective hood is so important.
• Recoil of the workpiece
• When the workpiece recoils it may hit those
in the surrounding area at high speed. This
may result in serious or even fatal injury. The
workpiece may recoil for the following reasons
(or a combination of them):
• The saw does not protrude far enough above
the table surface, causing the workpiece to be
guided directly into contact with the teeth of
6
the saw that is itself moving in the direction of
the user.
• The workpiece seizes on the saw because the
riving knife is not fitted or incorrectly adjusted.
• There is no auxiliary saw rip fence (straight
edge) or it is adjusted incorrectly. Because of
this the wood may become stuck between the
main rip fence and the rotating saw blade.
• Rotating saw blade breaks
• This can be caused by the following factors:
• An improper sawing procedure;
• An improperly adjusted saw blade;
• An improper method of operation;
• Processing material that is unsuitable for the
saw bench.
• Metal parts under voltage
Defective electrical installation may result in metal
parts coming under voltage and causing fire.
• Damage to hearing when noise level is too high
A noise level that is too high may cause
damage to the hearing of persons who are
often close to the saw bench.
• Release of harmful wood dust.
Release of harmful wood dust or glue vapours
may pose health risks. Connect a vacuum
cleaner to the saw bench.
Turn the appliance off immediately in the event of:
• A faulty mains plug, mains flex or flex damage.
• A faulty switch.
• Smoke or smell from scorched insulation.
• Seizing of the saw.

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Warning! This machine must be earthed.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
