Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Familiarize yourself with all safety warnings and instructions provided.
Sàbhailteachd inneal cumhachd coitcheann
- Sàbhailteachd san raon obrach: Cùm an raon obrach glan agus le deagh shoillseachadh. Bidh àiteachan làn stuth no dorcha a’ toirt cuireadh do thubaistean. Na cleachd innealan cumhachd ann an àile spreadhaidh, leithid nuair a bhios lionntan lasanta, gasaichean no duslach ann.
- Sàbhailteachd dealain: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
- Sàbhailteachd Pearsanta: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when operating the saw. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair.
- Cleachdadh agus cùram innealan: Na cuir feachd air an inneal cumhachd. Cleachd an inneal cumhachd ceart airson an tagraidh agad. Dì-cheangail am pluga bhon stòr cumhachd mus dèan thu atharrachaidhean sam bith, mus atharraich thu goireasan, no mus stòraich thu innealan cumhachd.
Circular Saw Specific Safety
- Cùm làmhan air falbh bhon àite gearraidh agus an lann. Cùm do dhàrna làmh air an làmh taice, no taigheadas motair. Ma tha an dà làmh a 'cumail an t-sabaid, chan urrainn dhaibh an gearradh leis an lann.
- Na ruig fon phìos obrach. Chan urrainn don gheàrd do dhìon bhon lann fon phìos obrach.
- Atharraich an doimhneachd gearraidh gu tiugh an obair-obrach. Cha bu chòir nas lugha na fiacail slàn den lann a bhith ri fhaicinn fon phìos obrach.
- Na cùm a-riamh am pìos obrach nad làmhan no thairis air do chas fhad ‘s a tha thu a’ gearradh. Dèan tèarainte air a ’phìos-obrach gu àrd-ùrlar seasmhach.
- Always use blades of the correct size and type.

- Corda cumhachd: Thoir sùil air a’ chorda cumhachd airson comharran milleadh, gearraidhean no sgàineadh sam bith. Ma tha e millte, faigh teicneòlaiche teisteanasach ga chàradh.
- Stòradh: Stòraich an sàbh ann an àite tioram, sàbhailte, a-mach à ruigsinneachd chloinne.
