Electrical Safety; Special Safety Instructions For Woodworking Machines - HOLZMANN-MASCHINEN KAP305ECO Betriebsanleitung

 Only use suitable extension cords.
 Always shut down the machine before carrying out any conversion, adjustment, measuring,
cleaning, maintenance or repair work and always disconnect it from the power supply for
maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the machine, wait until all tools or
machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the machine against
unintentional restarting.

13.5 Electrical Safety

 Only use suitable extension cords. (cross-section 1.5mm² for length up to 25m; H05VV-F)
 A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable with care.
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
 Proper plugs and sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Water entry into machine increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose machine to rain or
moisture.
 The machine may only be used in humid environments if the power source is protected by a
residual current circuit breaker.
 Do not use the power tool if it cannot be turned on and off with the ON/OFF switch.
 Avoid contact of the body with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the body is earthed.

13.6 Special Safety Instructions for Woodworking machines

 During operation of the machine wood dust is generated. Therefore, connect the machine to a
suitable dust collection system for dust and chips during installation!
 Always switch on the dust collection system before you start machining the workpiece!
 Never remove sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the machine
is running.
 When using milling tools with a diameter of ≥ 16 mm and circular saw blades, these must
comply with EN 847-1:2013 and EN 847-2:2013; tool carriers must comply with EN 847-
3:2013;
 Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
 Replace cracked and deformed saw blades immediately, they cannot be repaired.
 Use clean and sharpened saw blades, which are less sensitive to malfunctions and easier to
guide.
 If possible, use clamps to hold/fix the workpiece. If you hold the workpiece by hand, always
hold your hand at least 100 mm from both sides of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut
parts that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
 Never cross the intended cutting line in front of or behind the saw blade.
 Check your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bent or warped, clamp it with the
outside bent surface against the stop. Always make sure that there is no gap between the
workpiece, stop and table along the cutting line. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or move
and can cause jamming of the circular saw blade during cutting. There must also be no nails or
foreign objects in the workpiece.
 Cut only one workpiece at the same time.
 Whenever you change the mitre angle setting, make sure that the adjustable stop for
supporting the workpiece is set correctly and does not disturb the saw blade or the protective
system. Without switching the machine "ON", check without moving the workpiece by moving
the saw blade (completely simulated cut) that there are no disturbances or dangers when
cutting at the stop.
 For a workpiece that is wider or longer than the supporting table, sufficient support such as
table extensions, saw blocks, etc. must be provided.
 Always use a clamp or fixture designed to accept round material such as rods or tubes
properly.
 Allow the saw blade to reach full speed before touching the workpiece.
 If the workpiece or saw blades become jammed, turn off the mitre saw immediately. Wait until
all moving parts have come to a standstill and disconnect the plug from the power source,
then start removing the jammed material.
