Safety Instructions For Table Saws - Evolution R10Ts Instructions Originales

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS

1) Guarding related warnings
• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must
be
repaired or replaced.
• Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and
anti-kickback device for every through–cutting
operation. For through-cutting operations where
the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness
of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
• After completing a non-through cut such as
rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore the
riving knife to the extended-up position. With the
riving knife in the extended-up position, reattach
the blade guard and the anti-kickback device. The
guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback device help to
reduce the risk of injury.
• Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the
switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these
items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
• Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
• For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to
work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The
riving knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective
when cutting workpieces that are too short to be
engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback
device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot
be prevented by the riving knife and anti-kickback
device.
• Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the saw
blade diameter must match the appropriate riving
knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner
than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting
width of the saw blade must be wider than the
thickness of the riving knife.
2) Cutting procedures warnings
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands
•
in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A
moment of inattention or a slip could direct your
hand towards the saw blade and result in serious
personal injury.
• Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only
against the direction of rotation. Feeding the
workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is
rotating above the table may result in the workpiece,
and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
• Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece
when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a
length stop when cross cutting with the mitre
gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence
and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
• When ripping, always apply the workpiece
feeding force between the fence and the saw
blade. Use a push stick when the distance
between the fence and the saw blade is less than
6" (150mm ), and use a push block when this
distance is less than 2" (50mm). "Work helping"
devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from
the saw blade.
• Use only the push stick provided by the
manufacturer or constructed in accordance with
the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient
distance of the hand from the saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into
the saw blade.
• Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always
use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to
position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand"
means using your hands to support or guide the
workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge.
Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and
kickback.
• Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental
contact with the moving saw blade.
• Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear
and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide
workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide
workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table's
edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and
kickback.
• Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or
twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the
tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear
the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece
can cause kickback or stall the motor.
