Additional Specific Safety Rules - eXact PipeCut 170 Mode D'emploi

Safety
c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the "plunge
cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at
90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding
and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will
cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in.

Additional specific safety rules

The pipe saw must never be used in the following
cases, if:
• There is water or another liquid, explosive gases
or poisonous chemicals inside the pipe to be cut.
• The power switch is faulty.
• The power cable is faulty,
• The blade is bent.
• The blade is blunt or in poor condition.
• The plastic components are cracked or have parts
missing.
• The gripper unit is not properly tightened around
the pipe or if it is warped.
• The blade guard cover or moving blade guard
has been damaged or removed from the machine.
• The locking mechanisms do not work properly
(UNLOCK-button).
• The pipe saw has become wet.
When using the pipe saw, the following factors
must always be taken into consideration:
• Support tubes to minimise the risk of blade
pinching.
• Ensure that the pipe to be cut is empty.
• Ensure that the blade is correctly installed.
• Ensure that the diameter and thickness of the
blade are suitable for the pipe saw and that the
blade is suitable for the rpm-range of the machine.
• Never use sideways force to stop the blade, always
allow the blade to stop freely.
• Check the attachments of the blade guards.
• Never use excessive force when using the pipe
saw.
• Never use the pipe saw to lift the pipe while it is
still attached to the pipe.
• Avoid overloading the electric motor.
• Always follow the safety and operating instructions
and current regulations.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should
be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Accessories
running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool
speed as shown on tool nameplate.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss. When
working with various materials, the sound level may
vary and at times exceed the 85 dB(A) limit. Always
use ear protectors to protect yourself.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Always use safety goggles to prevent injury
to your eyes from particles thrown up when using
the pipe saw. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty (cast iron cutting). ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety gloves
as the edges of cut pipes are sharp and
can cause cuts.
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get
into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate
and/or disbursedust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory orother injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from face and body.
