General Safety Instructions - Wolfcraft MASTER cut 2000 Bedienungsanleitung

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Poor housekeeping or unlit working areas may result in accidents.
• Do not work with power tools in an explosive ambience, where flammable liquids are kept and where gas or dust occur. Power tools will generate
sparks which might ignite the dust or vapours.
• Keep children and other persons off your workplace, while using power tools. When getting distracted you can lose the control over the
equipment.
• The plug of the power tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be tampered with. Do not use adapters together with grounded power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of getting an electric shock.
• Keep power tools out of the rain and away from wetness. Water penetrating into a power tool will heighten the risk of getting an electric shock.
• When working with a power tool outside, use only extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use will reduce the risk of getting an electric shock.
• If it is unavoidable to use a power tool in a wet ambience, use a residual-current circuit-breaker. It will reduce the risk of getting an electric shock.
• Take care of what you do and handle the power tool with care. Never use a power tool, when you feel tired or when you are under the influence
of drugs of any kind or alcohol. One moment of inat-tentiveness while using the power tool can cause severe injuries.
• Do wear suitable personal protective clothing and equipment, such as hearing protection, goggles, dust masks while doing dust-generating jobs
as well as protective gloves, when processing rough materials and when changing tools.
• Remove the setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench at-tached to a rotating part of the equipment may
cause injuries.
• Wear suitable clothes, i.e. no loose garments or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from rotating parts. Loose garments, jewellery
or long hair may be caught by such rotating parts.
• Always use the protective hood with the dust extractor.
• Do not use power tools with a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and needs repairing.
• Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons using equipment which they are not familiar with it, or persons who
have not read these instructions. Power tools pose a danger, when being used by inexperienced persons.
• Check before starting to work, whether equipment and tools function properly. Never work with damaged or blunt tools.
• Have your power tools only repaired by duly qualified personnel. Demand original spares, so that the safety of the power tool remains ensured.
• Pull the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery pack from the power tools before you change the setting of your equipment or before
you replace any components. The unin-tentional re-start of a power tool may cause accidents.
• Put up the machine table properly before installing the power tool. The table's safe assem-bly is vital to prevent it from collapsing.
• Attach the power tool safely to the machine plate before using it. If the power tool gets out of place on the machine plate, you may lose control
of it.
• Put the machine table on a firm, plain and horizontal surface. If the machine table can shift or wobble, neither the power tool nor the work piece
can be moved safely and steadily.
• Do not overload the machine table and do not use it as ladder or scaffolding. Excess loads or standing on the machine table can shift the table's
centre of gravity upwards, so that it may topple over.
• Do not process any other materials than wood or easily machinable plastic. Exception: It is also allowed processing easily machinable metals
(e.g. aluminium), but only with the jig-saw and a suitable saw blade
• Loose splinters, chips or similar residues must not be removed by hand from the area close to the running saw blade!
• The machines used must conform to DIN EN 60745-1. Equipment built after 1995 must bear the CE sign.
• Do not merely saw by hand without a guiding aid; use the parallel or the angle guide.
•• Saw blades must not be slowed down by pushing from the side after the drive has been deactivated!
• Use the tools for their intended purpose only.
• Use only faultless saw blades; the base body must not be thicker and the width of the set of teeth not narrower than the thickness
of the splitting wedge.
• Make regular checks, whether all screws are tightened firmly!
• Never use your workbench in an improper way or for purposes other than intended!
• Remove all objects from the workbench that are not required.
• Do not use the machine for cutting firewood.
• Do not use the machine table for cutting log wood.
• The power tools must only be switched on and off via the safety switch.
• Use only the switch clamp supplied to permanently fix the appliance switch in the „ON" position.
• Replace damaged gap inserts with new ones.
• Always use a push stick when processing small or narrow work pieces.
• Make sure the eccentric levers for fixing the table legs are closed.
• Make sure before starting to work that the hand-held circular saw, the router or the jigsaw is properly attached to the machine plate
and that the machine plate is safely arrested in the notch of the machine table, or that it rests safely on the guide bar.
• Observe the admissible maximum dimensions for the work pieces (see Technical data).
• Use the different gap inserts exclusively for their specific purpose, as graphically detailed on each gap insert.
• When not using the push stick hang it on the screw provided for this purpose.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
• Apart from these machine-specific safety instructions, do also observe the safety instruc-tions for the hand-held circular saw you work with.
• Only use hand-held circular saws with splitting wedge, with a maximum saw blade diame-ter of 200 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 70 mm.
• Use only saws within the above maximum dimensions for the base plate (see Fig. 13).
• Use the circular saw bench only, when the protective hood is properly fixed.
• PLEASE NOTE: Make sure that the saw blade has been installed parallel to the opening in the gap insert and re-align the hand-held circular saw,
if necessary.
• Support long work pieces at the removal side, so that they rest in a horizontal position; e.g. with a wolfcraft roller trestle (Art. No. 6119973).
• Avoid overloading the hand-held circular saw.
• Do not use grinding pads.
• Use only recommended brands of saw blades and select them depending on the material to be sawn.
• DANGER: Keep your hands off the sawing area and the saw blade.
• Never reach under the work piece. The protective hood cannot protect you from the saw blade underneath the work piece.
• Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece; less than a full tooth height should be visible under the work piece.
• Be always aware that the work piece can be caught by the running saw blade and hit the operator.
