• Elektryske feiligens: Stekkers fan elektrysk ark moatte oerienkomme mei it stopkontakt. Wizigje de stekker noait. Foarkom lichemskontakt mei ierdske oerflakken. Stel elektrysk ark net bleat oan rein of wiete omstannichheden.
• Persoanlike feiligens: Always wear eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) and hearing protection. Use a dust mask if operations create dust. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that can be caught in moving parts.
• Gebrûk en soarch fan ark: Forsearje it elektryske ark net. Brûk it juste elektryske ark foar jo tapassing. Doch de stekker út it stopkontakt foardat jo oanpassingen meitsje, accessoires feroarje of elektryske ark opslaan.

Specific Safety for Metal Cutting Circular Saws

• Sparks and Hot Chips: Metal cutting produces sparks and hot metal chips. Ensure no flammable materials are in the vicinity. Wear appropriate protective clothing, including long sleeves and gloves.
• Feilich wurkstik: Altyd clamp the workpiece firmly to a stable surface. Do not attempt to hold the material by hand during cutting.
• Seleksje fan blêden: Use only the correct type and size of TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) blade designed for metal cutting with this saw. Ensure the blade is sharp and free from damage.
• Ventilaasje: Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area, especially when cutting metals that may produce fumes.
• Blade Guard: Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed or improperly functioning. Ensure the guard operates freely and returns to its closed position automatically.
