No utilitzeu mai el cable per transportar, estirar o desconnectar l'eina elèctrica. Mantingueu el cable allunyat de la calor, l'oli, les vores afilades o les peces mòbils.
- Seguretat personal: Always wear eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) and hearing protection. Use a dust mask if operating in dusty conditions. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that can be caught in moving parts.
- Ús i cura de l'eina: No forceu l'eina elèctrica. Feu servir l'eina elèctrica adequada per a la vostra aplicació. Desconnecteu l'endoll de la font d'alimentació abans de fer qualsevol ajust, canviar accessoris o guardar eines elèctriques.
- Specific Miter Saw Safety:
- Ensure the blade guard is always in place and functioning correctly.
- Secure the workpiece firmly with clamps or a vise before cutting.
- Never attempt to cut freehand.
- Deixeu que la fulla arribi a la màxima velocitat abans de començar a tallar.
