Hazards caused by flying parts
■
If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the machine tool itself
breaks, parts can be flung off at high speeds.
■
When operating circular and oscillating sawing machines or
sawing machines with reciprocating saw blades, always wear im-
pact-resistant eye protection. The degree of necessary protection
must be evaluated separately for each individual task.
■
Ensure that the workpiece has been securely fixed in place.
■
Ensure that sparks and metal chips are directed so that they do
not cause any hazards.
■
Ensure that the saw blade or cutting edge is correctly and firmly
clamped.
Hazards caused by entanglement
■
There may be a risk of suffocation, scalping and/or cuts if loose
clothing, jewellery, necklaces/scarves (or similar), hair or gloves
are not kept away from the machine and its accessories.
Hazards during operation
■
Avoid contact with the saw blade to avoid cutting your hands or
other parts of your body.
■
Protective covers must be securely in place and in good functional
condition.
■
Defective, curved or heavily worn protective covers must be
replaced with protective hoods recommended by the machine
manufacturer.
