A
Danger!
Before starting any work, check
to see that the safety devices are
in proper working order.
Use personal protection gear.
Assume the proper operating
position:
at the front of the saw;
in front of the saw;
to the side of the line of cut.
Risk of crushing! When tilting the
sawhead do not reach into the tilt-
ing range of the sawhead holder
or under the machine! Hold at the
sawhead when tilting.
For working, use the following:
work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off
the table on completion of the
cut;
dust bag or dust collector.
Cut only work pieces of dimen-
sions that allow for safe and
secure holding while cutting.
Always hold the work piece down
on the table and do not jam it. Do
not attempt to stop the saw blade
by exerting lateral pressure. Risk
of injury if the saw blade is
blocked.
