! Keep splitter and anti-kickback fingers and guard in place and operational, and replace table insert when worn.
! Ensure you select the appropriate saw blade for the material to be cut.
F WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
! Use the guard, splitter and anti-kickback fingers on all “through-sawing” operations. Through-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece as in ripping or cross-cutting.
! Check workpiece to ensure there are no nails or other items which may foul on the saw blade.
! Hold the work firmly against the mitre gauge or fence.
! Only feed the workpiece into the blade against the rotation of the blade.
! When cutting moulding, never run the stock between the fence and the moulding cutter-head.
! Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain, never force a workpiece. Maintain a controlled adequate progression.
! Should a saw blade jam switch the power off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
! TO AVOID WORKPIECE “KICKBACK” (When a workpiece is violently thrown back toward yourself).
a) Keep the blade sharp. b) Keep rip fence parallel to the saw blade. c) DO NOT release the workpiece before it is pushed all the way
past the saw blade.
! Use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. refer to ripping applications and push stick patterns in manual relating to the use of push stick.
! Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
% DO NOT use your hands (“free-hand”) to guide the workpiece. Hold work firmly against the mitre or fence to guide work through the saw.
% DO NOT place yourself in an awkward operating position where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the cutting blade.
% DO NOT stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade, and keep your hands out of the line of the saw blade.
% DO NOT use the fence as a cut-off gauge when cross-cutting.
% DO NOT hold what will become the off-cut (the waste part of workpiece).
F WARNING! DO NOT reach behind or over the saw blade with your hand or arms.
F WARNING! DO NOT attempt to free a jammed saw blade without first switching off or removing the plug from the mains power supply.
% DO NOT cut metal materials, and substances that may produce toxic dust. Saw must only be used to cut wood or wood type substances.
