Ec Declaration Of Conformity; General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Makita 2704NX1 Betriebsanleitung

WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
WARNING:
The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the
tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is
processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

EC Declaration of Conformity

The EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex A
to this instruction manual.
SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

Guarding related warnings
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
1.
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-
rectly must be repaired or replaced.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
2.
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.
3. Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, position-
ing and alignment can make the riving knife inef-
fective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
4. For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls
to work, they must be engaged in the work-
piece. The riving knife and anti-kickback pawls
are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are
too short to be engaged with the riving knife and
anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions a
kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife
and anti-kickback pawls.
5. 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.
Cutting procedures warnings
1. 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.
2. 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 work-
piece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw
blade.
Never use the mitre gauge to feed the work-
3.
piece 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.
4. When ripping, always keep the workpiece in
full contact with the fence and 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 150 mm, and use a push block
when this distance is less than 50 mm. "Work
helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe
distance from the saw blade.
5. Use only the push stick provided by the manu-
facturer or constructed in accordance with the
instructions. This push stick provides sufficient
distance of the hand from the saw blade.
6. Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A dam-
aged or cut push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the saw blade.
7. 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
8.
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to
accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear
9.
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.
10. Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not
bend, twist or shift the workpiece from side
to side. 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.
