SPECIFIC SAW SAFETY RULES
remove sawdust frequently. unplug from mains power. clean out sawdust from interior of saw to prevent potential fire hazard.
Keep riving knife and guard in place and operational, and replace table insert when worn.
do not fit any other type of saw blade other than the type supplied with the machine.
WARNING! Before each use, check that the saw blade is secure and not worn or damaged.
use the guard and riving knife 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 block or fence.
only feed the workpiece into the blade against the rotation of the blade.
Avoid subjecting the saw blade to excessive strain, never force a workpiece. maintain a controlled adequate progression.
should the 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.
d) DO NOT rip work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
use the push stick for ripping narrow stock. refer to ripping applications and to the use of push stick in section 5.3.
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long workpieces.
do not use your hands alone to guide the workpiece unless the workpiece is too large to use the guides provided. otherwise, hold the
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).
WARNING! do not reach behind or over the saw blade with your hand or arms.
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.
do not use solvents to clean plastic parts which may damage them. use a soft damp cloth only.
store blades in a safe, dry childproof location.
When not in use switch the saw off, remove plug from the power supply.
