Additional Safety Rules For Tool - Makita BSR730 Betriebsanleitung

4. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any con-
ductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a break-
down.
5. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
6. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if
it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
7. Be careful not to drop, shake or strike battery.
8. Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The battery must be placed in a well
ventilated area during charging.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
TOOL
1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operat-
ing condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Wear hearing protection.
3. 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.
4. Do not use blades which are deformed or
cracked.
5. Do not use blades of high speed steel.
6. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
7. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Use Rip Fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide
when ripping.
11. 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 – exercise 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
causing severe injury.
12. Lower Guard.
Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
13. Adjustments.
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjust-
ments are tight.
14. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.
Don't use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolts.
15. Avoid Cutting Nails.
ENB037-2
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting.
16. Operate with proper hand support and proper
workpiece support.
WARNING:
It is important to support the workpiece prop-
erly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss
of control which could cause personal injury.
Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the
saw.
17. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly sup-
ported, not on the section that will fall off when
the cut is made.
As example, 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)
18. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
(Fig. 7)
19. Before setting the tool down after completing
a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping)
guard has closed and the blade has come to a
complete stop.
20. Using manufacturer data
• Ensure that the diameter, thickness and
other characteristics of the saw blade are
suitable for the tool.
• Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the
spindle speed of the tool.
21. Do not use any abrasive wheel.
