Residual Risks; Security Instructions; Safety Instructions - ATIKA KGSZ 210 Originalbetriebsanleitung

The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the safety instructions in-
cluded in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the op-
eration as well as the other generally acknowledged occupa-
tional medicine and safety rules must be complied with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Independently made alterations to the circular saw preclude
any liability of the manufacturer for resulting damages of any
kind.
The circular saw may only be equipped, used and serviced
by persons who are familiar with these and have been in-
structed in the hazards. Repair works may only be carried
out by us or by a customer service agent nominated by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metal parts (nails, etc.) must be removed from the timber to
be sawn.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the rele-
vant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating in-
structions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Danger of injury of fingers and hands by the tool (saw blade)
or work piece, e.g. when replacing the saw blade.
Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and expulsion of saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical con-
nections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
