Safe Working - ATIKA BWS 700 N-2 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Safe working

Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. If
electrical tools are used, the fundamental safety precautions must
be met to preclude the risks of fire, electric shock and injuries to
persons.
Before starting this device, read and keep to the following advice.
Also observe the preventive regulations of your professional
association and the safety provisions applicable in the respective
country, in order to protect yourself and others from possible injury.
Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work with the

machine.

Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
Familiarize yourself with the device before using it with the help

of the operating instructions so that you are sufficiently trained
in its use, setting and operation.
Be attentive. Be careful what you do. Behave sensibly when

working. Do not use the device when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medicaments. One moment of
care-lessness when using the device can result in serious
injuries.
This unit may not be used by persons having reduced physical,

sensory or cognitive abilities or by persons with lack of adequate
knowledge or experience unless they are supervised or instructed by
a person who is responsible for them.
The machine must not be operated by children.

Persons under the age of 18 must not operate the circular saw.

Persons who have not read this operating instruction manual may not

operate this unit.
Children must be supervised to make sure that they do not play with

the device.
Keep children away from machine.

Never leave the saw unattended.

Keep other persons away.

Do not allow other persons, especially children, to touch the tool or
the cable.
Keep them away from your working area.
Wear suitable work clothes:

 do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewellery; they can catch in
moving parts.

slip-proof shoes
 hairnet in case of long hair
 Wear suitable personal protective equipment:
 ear protection (Sound intensity level at workplace can exceed 85
dB (A))

eye protection
 breathing protection
 gloves when working on saw blades  saw blade change, for
example (whenever possible transport saw blade in a tool
holder).
Dust exposition depends on the type of material to be sawed.

Because this firewood saw has no extraction system, it may only be
operated outdoors.
Dust arising during work is often harmful to health and should not

come into the human body. Wear a suited protective mask.
Thoroughly remove accumulated dust, e.g. by vacuum.
 The machine must stand on a horizontal, level floor during operation
and the floor around the machine must be flat, well maintained and
free of waste such as chips and cut-off workpieces.
 Arrange the stack of workpieces to be cut and the finished
workpieces close to the regular workplace of the operator.
 Keep your workplace in an orderly condition! Untidiness can result in
accidents.
 Take into consideration environmental influences:
 Do not expose the saw to rain.
 Do not use the saw in moist or wet ambience.

Provide for good illumination.
 Do not use this saw near inflammable liquids or gases.
Avoid abnormal posture. Provide a safe standing position and keep at

any time the balance. Do not lean forward.
Assume the correct work posture. Stand in front of the operating side

frontally to the saw blade line.
Start cutting only when the saw blade has reached its required speed.

Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the given

performance range.
Immediately report any malfunction on the machine including isolating

safety devices or saw blade after you have detected them.
Ensure that the guards and other safety devices necessary for

operating the machine are in place, in good working order and
properly maintained. Do not alter anything on the machine that could
impair the safety.
Replace the plastics inserts if the sawing gap is worn.

Do not use any cracked saw blades or such that have changed their

shape.
Use only well sharpened saw blades as edgeless saw blades

increase not only the risk of backstrokes but also charge the motor.
To minimise the noise emission make sure that you work with a sharp

saw blade and that all elements for noise reduction (covers, etc.) are
properly attached or adjusted.
Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS) since this

steel is hard and brittle; use only tools according to EN 847-1.
The use of other tools and other accessories can signify a risk of
injury for you.
Pay attention that the saw blade conforms to the dimensions
specified under "Technical Data" and is suitable for the work piece
material.
Observe the maximal speed indicated on the saw blade.

Always use genuine saw blade flanges.

Arrange the stack of work pieces to be cut and the finished work

pieces close to the work place.
Only saw one work piece at a time. Never saw several work pieces at

the same time or do not bundle several individual pieces together for
cutting. There is danger that individual pieces may be caught by the
saw blade in an uncontrolled manner.
Ensure that cut off pieces are not caught up by the saw blade and

projected away.
Do not use the saw for unsuitable purposes (see "Normal intended

use").
Remove all nails and metallic objects from the work piece before

sawing.
Pay attention that the work piece does not contain any cables, ropes,

cords or the like.
Only cut work pieces with dimensions that allow secure holding while

sawing.
The length of the material to be cut must not exceed 1000 mm. The

length of the material must be 200 mm as a minimum.
Only wood pieces up to a max. diameter of 240 mm are allowed to be

cut to avoid dangerous turnover cutting.
Always keep sufficient distance to the saw blade. Maintain sufficient

distance from driven components during operation.
The saw blade runs after. Wait until the saw blade has come to a

standstill before remove splinters, chips and waste.
Do not slow the saw blade down by applying lateral pressure to it.

Do not remove splinters, shavings and waste with your hands from

the dangerous area of the saw blade.
Remove cutting waste from the machine (as required) to prevent any

safety impairment at the workplace. This also applies to sawdust.
Keep the chip clearance free.
Do not remove cut or other parts of the work piece from the cutting

area with the machine still running unless you use a pushstick.
 Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the socket
when

carrying out repair works
 maintenance and cleaning
