5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.  Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Page 5

POWXQ5360 EN

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected

by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other

feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CIRCULAR TABLE

SAWS

 Replace insert when worn.  Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough material. Saw blades shall be carried in

a holder whenever practicable.

 Faults in the machine, including guards or saw blades, should be reported as soon as they

are discovered.

 No other people are allowed to stand in the direct vicinity of the machine when it is in use.

People not operating the machine must maintain a suitable safe distance!

 Never lay the power cable over the machine table!  Use the push rod to pass the work piece safely into the saw blade! Do not come too close

to the saw blade!

 Make sure that the thickness of the material to be cut is less than the maximum possible

cutting depth.

 Never cut “hands-free”! The work piece must always lie level on the machine table and be

moved along the stop! The work piece must always be pressed hard against the stop!

 Never cut work pieces that are so small that they cannot be safety pressed against the

stop and could turn!

 Never cut work pieces that are so small that they cannot be moved by the push rod at a

safe distance from the saw blade!

 Only cut one work piece at a time! Never cut several work pieces simultaneously! Work

piece are not allowed to be placed behind or on top of each other!

 There is a danger of the work piece “jamming” and slipping away!  Make sure that the work piece cannot slip while cutting or get jammed in the saw blade!  Clean the working area and the work piece after each cut.  Never reach into the openings of the device! Never insert objects into the openings of the

device (e.g. the saw blade casing, dust extraction adaptor). Danger of cuts!

 Never remove the cutting piece if the machine is still switched on or running! Danger of

cutting yourself!

 Cut work pieces may have sharp edges, ridges or wooden splinters! Danger of cutting

injuries!

 Always switch the machine off and remove the power plug when your leave the machine.  Never expose the device to rain or extreme moisture!  Do not perform any cuts with this circular table saw, other than those described in these

operating instructions! Seams and notches are not allowed to be sawn!

 Circular saws are not allowed to be used for slitting (notches which end in the work piece)!  Do not operate saw without guards and riving knife in place. Check blade guards for

proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guards do not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into the open position. Any irregular operation of the blade guards should be corrected immediately.

 Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1,

and observe that the riving knife must not be thicker than the width of the cut by the saw blade and not thinner than the body of the blade.

 Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such

as abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.

 Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.  Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel.  To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean.  Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw

blade.

 The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.  Some dust created from operation contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

 Lift the rip fence handle (a) until the

rear holding clamp (b) is fully extended.

 Place the rip fence on the saw table,

lowering the rear of the fence onto the table first.

 Push down the rip fence handle (a) in

order to lock the rip fence in position.

 lead from lead-based-painted material and,  arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

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 well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.  Use push stick or push block to avoid working with the hands and fingers close to the saw

blade.

 Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.  Place a stable support under long workpieces. This allows you to prevent the instability of

the tool.

7 GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

 Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating.

 Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a

damaged extension cord, or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

 Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position

and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

This tool must be grounded while in use in order to protect the operator from electric shock.

9 OPERATING THE MACHINE

For safety reasons, verify that the operator has read the section entitled general safety guidelines for the table saw before operating this saw. Verify the following before every time the table saw is used:

1. The blade is tight.

2. The bevel angle locking handle is locked.

3. If ripping, the rip fence locking knob is tight, and the fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove and the blade.

4. If crosscutting, the miter gauge knob is tight.

5. The blade guard and splitter are in place, and are working properly.

6. Safety glasses are worn.

7. Failure to adhere to these safety rules will greatly increase the chances of injury.

Before using the table saw, polish the tabletop with an automotive polishing wax in order to keep it clean, and to make it easier to slide the work piece. There are two basic types of table saw cuts: ripping and crosscutting. Ripping refers to cutting along the length of the grain and the work piece. Crosscutting refers to either cutting across the width or across the grain of the work piece. This distinction may be hard to make with man made materials. Therefore, cutting a piece of material to a different width is ripping, and cutting across the short dimension is crosscutting. Neither operation can be performed safely freehand: ripping requires the use of the rip fence, and crosscutting requires the use of the miter gauge. Never use the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time during the cutting operation.

Do not use more than one rip fence or a combination of a miter gauge and a rip fence at the same time during a cutting operation.

12 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug.

12.1 Cleaning

 Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.  Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.  Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.  If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.  Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may

damage the plastic parts.

Make sure no water can reach the inside of the power tool!

12.2 Lubrication

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory, and do not require any additional lubrication. Use graphite or silicone to lubricate all mechanical parts of the table saw where a pivot or threaded rod is present. Dry lubricants do not hold sawdust like oil or grease.

13 INFORMATION ABOUT TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

POSITIONS

 When transporting the machine use only transportation devices and do never use guards

for handling, lifting or transportation.

 During transportation the upper part of the saw blade should be covered; for example by

the guard.

 Always lift your tool at the bottom plate with two persons to avoid back injuries.
