Residual Risks - EXEL 5156 Original Operating Instructions

simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
l) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a
workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider
than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as
additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to
bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper
into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the
spinning sawblade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get
wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material
such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the
blade to 2bite2 and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will
reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre sawoff. Wait for
all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug fromthe power source
and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage
to the .mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait
for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your
hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the
switch before the sawhead is completely in the down position. The braking
action of the saw may cause the sawhead to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
