Safety Rules for Laser Lights

The laser used in this device is a Class 2 laser with maximum power of
≤1mW and a wavelength of 650nm.
These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at
the beam may cause flash blindness.
WARNING: Avoid direct eye contact.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please observe
all safety rules as follows:
• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the
GB
manufacturer's instructions
• Do not switch on the laser light until the tool is ready to cut
• Never aim the beam at any person, and particularly not into the eyes of
any person or animal, or any object other than the workpiece
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without
reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable.
Reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser use as the
reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator
• Do not change the laser light assembly. Repairs must only be carried
out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent. Do NOT
exchange with a different type of laser
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Please refer to the relevant EN standards, EN60825-1/A1:2002 for more
information on Lasers.
Product Wave Length: 650nm,

Circular Saw Safety

WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch
power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles
or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including
safety gloves
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the
fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a
break
• Always use recommended blades with correct size and shape of arbor
holes e.g. diamond or round. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control
dust/waste
• Power tools must always be held by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation, ensuring protection if the cutting tool
makes contact with its own cord or hidden wiring. Contact with a 'live'
wire will make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and shock
the operator if the insulated gripping surfaces are not used
• Ensure hands are kept away from the cutting area and blade. Keep
one hand on the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the tool they cannot be cut by the blade
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Specifications
section of this manual
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than
a full tooth of the blade should be visible below the workpiece
• Ensure that work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under
their own weight and bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, close to the line of cut and near the edge
of the panel
• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the
cutting path
• Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body
exposure is minimised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
• For accuracy of cut, and to avoid blade binding, always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide
• Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across your legs whilst cutting
• Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating
