Residual Risks - DeWalt DWE7491 Original Instructions Manual

• Do not attempt to operate on anything but the
designated voltage.
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is
running.
• Do not reach around behind the saw blade.
• Always keep the push stick in its store place
when not in use.
• Do not stand on top of the unit.
• During transportation make sure that the upper
part of the saw blade is covered, e.g. by the
guard.
• Do not use the guard for handling or
transportation.
WARNING: This machine is equipped
with a specially configured power supply
cord (type Y attachment). If the power
supply cord is damaged or otherwise
defective, it must only be replaced by
the manufacturer or by an authorised
repair agent.
• Immediately replace the table insert (throat
plate) when worn or damaged.
• Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
Always provide additional support for long
workpieces.
• Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
• Never cut light alloy. The machine is not
designed for this application.
• Do not use abrasive disc or diamond cutting
wheels
• Rabbeting, slotting or grooving is not allowed.
• In case of an accident or machine failure,
immediately switch the machine off and pull the
plug. Report the failure and mark the machine in
suitable form which prevents that other persons
use the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to
abnormal feed force during cutting, ALWAYS
switch the machine off and disconnect from
power supply. Remove the workpiece and
ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn the
machine on and start a new cutting operation
with reduced feed force.
• NEVER attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces
of material which could cause loss of control or
kickback. Support all materials securely.
SAW BLADES
• When sawing wood always connect the
machine with suitable dust extractor.
• The max. allowable speed of the saw blade
must always be equal to or greater than the
no-load speed of the tool specified on the
nameplate.
• Do not use saw blades that do not conform to
the dimensions stated in the Technical Data.
Do not use any spacers to make a blade fit onto
the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN847-1, if intended for
wood and similar materials.
• Consider applying specially designed noise-
reduction blades.
• Do not use high steel (HS) saw blades.
• Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
• Ensure that the chosen saw blade is suitable for
the material to be cut.
• Always wear gloves for handling saw blades
and rough material. Saw blades should be
carried in a holder wherever practicable.

Residual risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered
parts of the rotating saw blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the saw blade with
unprotected hands.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the
guards.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when sawing wood, especially oak,
beech and MDF.
The following factors are of influence to noise
production:
- the material to be cut
- the type of saw blade
- the feed force
- machine maintenance
The following factors are of influence to dust
exposure:
- worn saw blade
- dust extractor with air velocity less than 20 m/s
- workpiece not exactly guided
