Further Safety Instructions For All Saws - eXact Pipecut V1000 Mode D'emploi

Safety
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5. 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 warnings for circular
saws
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on motor housing. If
both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
NOTE: For circular saws with 140 mm or smaller
diameter blades, the "Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing" may be omitted.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
i) Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with
your hands. They could be injured by rotating
parts.
j) Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have sufficient control over
the power tool.
k) Do not operate the power tool stationary. It
is not designed for operation with a saw table.
l) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw blades can easily break.
m)When working with the machine, always hold
it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more
secure with both hands.
n) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece supported
by pipe holders is held more secure than by
hand.
o) Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
p) Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while working. Damaged cables increase the
risk of an electric shock.
Further safety instructions for
all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by
the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward
the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in
the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
saw and position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either side of
the blade, but not in line with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards,
but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
NOTE: For circular saws with 140 mm or smaller
diameter blades, the words "with both hands" may
be omitted.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull
the saw backward while the blade is in motion
or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
