electrical shock. f) If the power tool must be used in a damp environment, use a residual current protective device. The use of such a device reduces the risk of electrical shock. 3) Personal safety a) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use the power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medici- nes. One moment of inattention while using a power tool can result in serious injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear protective glasses. Wearing personal protective equip- ment, such as a dust mask, slip-free safety shoes, pro- tective headwear or ear protection, depending on the type and use of a power tool reduces the risk of injury. c) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the po- wer tool is shut off before it is connected to the power supply, or is carried. If you have your finger on the switch of the tool while carrying it, or have the tool turned on, or connected to a power supply, this behaviour can lead to accidents. d) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners before turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is located in a rotating part of the machine, can lead to injuries. e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the operator is standing firmly and can maintain balance. This allows the operator to maintain control over the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from the moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in the moving parts. g) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be installed on the tool, make sure that these are correctly connec- ted and assembled. The use of a dust exhaust unit can reduce hazards caused by dust.

4) Use and treatment of the power tool a) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for the work that is to be done. With the correct power tool, you can work better and more safely. b) Do not use a power tool where the switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be turned on and off is dange- rous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you make adjustments to the tool, change parts or put the tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent start- ups of the tool. d) Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the tool who does not have experience with it, or who has not read these ins- tructions. Power tools can be dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people. e) Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that movable parts function properly and do not jam, see that parts which influence the use of the machine are not broken or damaged. Repair damaged parts before operating the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting edges sharp and clean. Properly maintai- ned cutting tools with sharp cutting edges jam less often

general notes

After unpacking, check all parts for any transport dam- age. Inform the supplier immediately of any faults.

Later complaints cannot be considered. Make sure the delivery is complete. Before putting into operation, familiarize yourself with

the machine by carefully reading these instructions. Use only original Taurus Titanium accessories, wear-

ing or re place ment parts. You can find replacement parts by contacting the after sales support number on 1300 130 579.

When ordering, include our item number and the type and year of construction of the machine.

in these operating instructions we have marked the places that have to do with your safety with this sign: m

m general safety instructions for power tools

WaRning Read all warnings and instructions. Failure to apply all warnings and instructions can lead to elec- trical shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all warnings and instructions handy for future con- sultation.

The term power tool used in the warnings refers to po- wer tools that are connected to a source of electrical energy (with an electrical cable)

1) Workplace safety a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in areas where explosions could take place, or in which flammable liquids, gases or dust are present. Power tools can create sparks, which can cause dust or fumes to ignite. c) Keep children and bystanders away from the power tool when it is being used. Distractions could cause you to lose control over the equipment.

2) electrical safety a) The terminal plug of the tool must fit into the outlet. The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use an adaptor plug together with grounded power tools. The original plugs and the appropriate outlets reduce the risk of an electrical shock. b) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock, if your body is grounded. c) Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions. Penetration of water into the power tool increases the risk of electrical shock. d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the tool, hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp corners or parts of the equipment that move. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electrical shock. e) When operating the power tool outdoors, only use ex- tension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an appropriate extension cord reduces the risk of an

rectly positioned, the teeth at the rear side of the saw blade edge catch in the surface of the work piece. The saw then moves out of the saw groove and springs back in the direction of the operator. Akickbackresultsfromanincorrectorfaultyuseof the saw. It can be prevented, as will be described in the following, by appropriate cautionary measures.

a) Hold onto the saw with both hands and position your arms so that they can absorb any energy from a kick- back. Always keep to the side of the saw blade, and never bring it into line with your body. In the case of a kickback, the circular saw can jump backwards, but with adequate caution the operator can deal with the energy of the kickback. b) If the saw blade jams or you want to interrupt your work, then turn the saw off and keep the work piece still until the saw blade comes to a full stop. Never try to re- move the saw from the work piece or pull it out when the saw blade is moving since then a kickback can occur. Find out the cause of the jam and remove it. c) If you want to start up a saw that is in the work piece, centre the saw blade in the sawed groove and check that the saw blade teeth are not caught in the work piece. If the saw blade is jammed, it can jump out of the work piece or cause a kick back when it is started up. d) Support larger work pieces in order to reduce the risk of a kick back due to a saw blade jam. The weight of larger work pieces can cause them to bend. Large pieces must be supported on both sides, both near the sawing slot as well as on the edges. e) Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with dull or misaligned teeth increase the friction, in the sawing slot, cause saw blade jams and kickbacks. f) Before you start sawing, tighten the adjustments for the cut depth and angles. If you change settings while sawing, the saw blade can jam and a kickback is the result. g) Be particularly careful when making inserted cuts in walls that already exist or other areas where you cannot see what is behind the surface. When the saw blade is inserted into the wall it can be blocked by hidden objects and cause a kick back.

mSafety instructions for inserted circular saw use

a) Each time before you use the saw, make sure that the protective covering closes. Do not use the saw if the pro- tective covering cannot move freely and does not close immediately. Never clip or tie the protective covering in an opened position. If the saw should accidentally fall to the ground, the protective covering can get bent. Make sure that the protective covering can move freely and does not touch the saw blade or other parts in all cutting positions. b) Check the condition and function of the spring for the protective covering. Have the saw repaired before use if the protective covering and spring do not work perfectly. Damaged parts, sticky residuals or piles of saw dust can interfere with the working of the lower protective cover.

and are easier to control. g) Use power tools, accessories, and equipment accor- ding to these instructions. Taking into account the wor- king conditions and the work being performed. The use of power tools other than those intended for the tool itself can lead to dangerous situations. 5) Service a) Only let qualified service personnel repair your tool and always use original replacement parts. This guaran- tees that the power tool remains safe to use.

m Safety instructions for all saws

a) DANGER: Do not put your hands in the sawing area or on the saw blade. Keep your second hand on the extra handle of the motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, neither can be injured by the saw blade. b) Do not put your hands under the work piece. The pro- tective cap cannot protect your hands from the blade when they are under the work piece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than one complete sawing tooth should be visible under the work piece. d) Never hold the work piece that is to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Make sure that the work piece has a stable balance. It is important that the work piece is held securely, in order to minimize the danger of contact of a body part with the saw, loss of control over the saw, or jamming of the blade. e) Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when you undertake work in which the tool being used could come into contact with hidden electrical wires, or its own cable. Contact with a live power source can electrify the metal parts of the tool and lead to an electrical shock. f) When making a long cut, always use a stop chock or a straightedge. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance that the saw blade jams. g) Always use the correct size of saw blades and make sure they have the right locating bore (e.g. Star shaped or round). Saw blades that do not fit the assembly of the saw do not run correctly and cause loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade shims or screws. The saw blade shims and screws are designed especially for your saw, for optimal performance and operating sa- fety.

c) Only use the manufacturers original saw blades with the number 160 mm, 5500/min, 160 x 20 x 2.0. Do not use any saw blades which do not correspond to the characteristics described in these operating instruc- tions. Saw blades may not be brought to a stop by pres- sure on the machine from the side. Make sure that the saw blade is tightly assembled and turns in the correct direction.

m Special Safety instructions

Safety instructions for circular saws - Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when you undertake work in which the tool being used could come into contact with hidden electrical wires, or its own cable. Contact with a live power source can electrify the metal parts of the tool and lead to an electrical shock.

m Proper use

ce tested machines meet all valid ec machine guidelines as well as all relevent guidelines for each machine. The machine must only be used in technically perfect

con dition in accordance with its designated use and the in structions set out in the operating manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in oerating the machine. Any func- tional dis orders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, sholud terefore be rectified immediately.

Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages resulting from un- authorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the operator.

The safety, work and maintenance instructions of the manufacturer as well as the technical data given in the calibrations and dimensions must be adhered to.

Relevant accident prevention regulations and other, gene rally recognized safety-technical rules must also be adhered to.

The machine may only be used, maintained, and op- erated by persons familiar with it and instructed in its operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the machine release the manufacturer from all responsi- bility for any resulting damages.

The machine may only be used with original accesso- ries and tools made by the manufacturer.

The machine may not be operated with sanding belts.

m Remaining hazards

The machine has been built using modern technology in accor dance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining hazards, how ever, may still exist. The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead

to injuries caused by electricity. Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-

maining hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.

Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the instructions in Safety Precautions, Proper Use and in the entire operating manual.

c) When making an inserted cut that does not describe a right angle, make sure that the saw is guarded against slipping to the side. Slippage can lead to a saw blade jam and a kickback. d) Do not put the saw on the workbench or the floor wi- thout making sure that the protective cover is over the saw blade. An unprotected, running saw blade can move the saw against the cutting direction and saw what is in the way. Check the delay time of the saw.

madditional safety instructions for all sawing with a wedge

a) Use the right wedge for the saw blade that is in use. The wedge must be thicker than the thickness of the steel blade but thinner than the width of the teeth. b) Adjust the wedge as described in the operating inst- ructions. Incorrect thickness, position or direction can be the reason that the wedge does not effectively pre- vent a kickback. c) Always use a wedge, except when making an inserted cut. Reassemble the wedge after an inserted cut. The wedge is in the way when making an inserted cut and can cause a kickback. d) In order for the wedge to be effective, it must be in the sawing gap. For short cuts, a wedge does not work to prevent kickbacks. e) Never run the saw with a bent wedge. Even the smal- lest defect can slow down the closing of the protective cover.

inSTRUcTiOnS FOR aLL SaWS Do not use a sanding belt. Make sure that the wedge is adjusted so that the di-

stance to the sprocket ring of the saw blade is not more than 5 mm and that the sprocket ring does not stick out more than 5 mm above the lower edge of the wedge.

Make sure that the dust catching mechanism is cor- rectly installed, as is described in this manual.

Wear breathing protection. Only those saw blades recommended in the manual

should be used. Always wear ear protection. Replace the saw blades as described in this manual. The maximum cut depth is 55 mm.

If the electrical cable of this tool is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the customer service department or a similarly qualified specialist in order to avoid dangers.

FURTheR SPeciaL SaFeTY inSTRUcTiOnS FOR ciRcULaR SaWS a) Only use the recommended saw blades which corre- spond to EN 847-1. b) Do not use sanding belts.

dinally and transversally and with appropriate adjust- ments (specific blade and clamps);

Unsuitable use do not cut: Ferrous materials, steel and cast iron or any other ma-

terial not mentioned above and in particular foodstuffs.

Start-up

Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions before operating the machine.

RemOVaL OF PacKaging Remove the box used to protect the machine during trans portion and keep it intact for future transportation and storage.

eLecTRicaL cOnnecTiOnS Check that the electrical system to which the machine is connected is earthed in compliance with current safety regulations and that the current socket is in perfect con- dition. The electrical system must be fitted with a magnetother- mal protective device to safeguard all conductors from short circuits and overload. The selection of this device should be in line with the following electrical specifications of the machine stated on the motor. nOTe: Your plunge cut saws electrical system is equipped with an undervoltage relay which automatically opens the circuit when the voltage falls below a minimum pre-est- ablished limit and which prevents the self-reset of ma- chine functions when voltage returns to normal levels. If the machine stops involutarily, do not be allarmed. Make sure that there has not been a voltage failure in the electrical system.

m electrical connection

The installed electric motor is completely wired ready for operation. The customers connection to the power supply system, and any extension cables that may be used, must conform with local regulations.

important remark: The motor is automatically switched off in the event of an overload. The motor can be switched on again after a cool ing down period that can vary.

defective electrical connection cables Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam- age. Possible causes are: Pinch points when connection cables are run through

window or door gaps. Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying of

the connection cable. Cuts resulting from running over the connecting cable. Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling out

of the wall socket. Cracks through aging of insulation. Such defective electrical connection cables must not be used as the insulation damage makes them extremely

hazardous. Check electrical connection cables regularly for dam- age. Make sure the cable is disconnected from the mains when checking. Electrical connection cables must comply with the regu- lations applicable in your country.

Single-phase motor The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage spec-

ified on the motors rating plate. Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a

cross-section of 1.5 mm2, and beyond 25 m at least 2.5 mm2.

The connection to the mains must be protected with a 16 A slow-acting fuse.

Only a qualified electrician is permitted to connect the machine and complete repairs on its electrical equip- ment. In the event of enquiries please specify the following data: Motor manufacturer Type of current of the motor Data recorded on the machines rating plate Data recorded on the switchs rating plate If a motor has to be returned, it must always be dis- patched with the complete driving unit and switch.
