STATUS CP190PL [7/52] Circular saw safety rules

• Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,

positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineective in preventing kickback.

• Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced

after plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interference.

• For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is

ineective in preventing kickback during short cuts.

• Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a light interference can slow the

closing rate of a guard.

• Wear hearing protection during continuous operation. Exposure to noise can cause

hearing loss.

• During operation provide eye protection to prevent eyes from exposure to ying

particles. Wear goggles.

• Take protective measures against inhalation of dust. Some materials can contain

toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when

connectable.

• Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

• Use of protective gloves is recommended.

• Before connecting a tool to a power source be sure that the voltage supply is the

same as that specied on the nameplate of the tool.

• A power source with a voltage greater than that specied for the tool can result in

serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the

tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the

motor.

• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.

• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere

rating for your power tool and it is in safe electrical condition.

• Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and

pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while operating. Damaged cables

increase the risk of electric shock.

• Always keep the cord away from the working area of the power tool.

• Prior to operation remove all nails, screws and other objects from the work piece.

You may damage the saw blade and the machine by cutting into a nail or other

metal. It can also present a safety hazard.

• Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever possible.

• Never start the power tool under load. Make sure that the saw blade is not in

contact with the work piece when you switch the machine on.

• Always switch o and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete standstill

before removing the machine from the work piece.

• Never apply side pressure to stop the blade rotation after switching o the saw.

• Do not touch the saw blade immediately after operation. It may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

• Do not use blades with parameters not corresponding to those mentioned above.
