Ec Declaration Of Conformity; General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Makita LC1230 Bedienungsanleitung

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
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 measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing 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).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-3-10:
Vibration emission (a ) : 3.0 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration 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).

WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
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.
Safety instructions for metal cutting
saws
1. Metal cutting saws are intended to cut ferrous
material, they cannot be used with abrasive
cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such
as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard to jam.
Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
guard and other plastic parts.
2. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan can draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
3. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by var-
ious operations. The dust mask or respirator must
be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
4. Do not operate the metal cutting saw near
flammable or combustible materials. Sparks
and/or hot debris during cutting operation could
ignite these materials.
5. Always use clamps to support the workpiece.
Never support the workpiece by hand. Do not
use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to
be securely clamped. If your hand is placed too
close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk
of injury from blade contact.
6. The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped using the vise. Do not feed the work-
piece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any
way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be
thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
7. Never cross your hand over the intended line
of cutting either in front or behind the saw
blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed"
i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
Do not reach behind the vise stop with either
8.
hand from either side of the saw blade, to
remove scraps, or for any other reason while
the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spin-
ning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious
and you may be seriously injured.
9. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
the workpiece is bowed or warped, always
make certain that there is no gap between the
clamped workpiece, vise and vise stop along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting.
