Additional Safety Rules For Tool - Makita 5603R Betriebsanleitung

14. Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodi-
cally and, if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting
Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
19. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by and authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operating instruction or
the catalog may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert

evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL

1. Wear hearing protection.
2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check
operation of lower guard before each use. Don't
use if lower guard does not close briskly over
saw blade.
CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be
bent, restricting full return.
3. Do not use blades which are deformed or
cracked.
4. Do not use blades made of high speed steel.
5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the
saw blade.
6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
7. DANGER: Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.
Keep hands away from blades. Don't reach
underneath work while blade is rotating. Don't
attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
8. Support Large Panels. (Fig. 1 & 2)
Large panels must be supported as shown in
Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and
kickback.
When cutting operation requires the resting of
the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be
rested on the larger portion and the smaller
piece cut off.
9. Use Rip Fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when
ripping.
10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and
is driven back towards the operator. Release
switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Keep blades sharp. Support large panels as
shown in Fig. 1. Use fence or straight edge guide
when ripping. Don't force tool. Stay alert-exer-
cise control. Don't remove saw from work during
a cut while the blade is moving.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the
saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily
jump backwards over your hand, possibly caus-
ing severe injury.
11. Lower Guard.
Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
12. Adjustments.
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjust-
ments are tight.
13. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.
Don't use blades with incorrect size holes. Never
use defective or incorrect blade washers or
bolts.
14. Avoid Cutting Nails.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting.
15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it will
not be caught on the workpiece during the cut-
ting operation.
Operate with proper hand support, proper work-
piece support, and supply cord routing away
from the work area.
WARNING:
ENB036-2
It is important to support the workpiece properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of con-
trol which could cause personal injury. Fig. 4
illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made.
As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to
cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the WRONG
way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it
down. DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY
HAND! (Fig. 6)
17. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely danger-
ous and can lead to serious accidents. (Fig. 7)
