Do not work with material containing asbestos. Asbestos
u
is considered to be carcinogenic.
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
u
material (saw blades should be carried in a holder when
practicable).
Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced
u
hearing loss.
Consider using specially designed noise-reduction blades.
u
Wear eye protection to reduce the risk of personal injury.
u
Use the dust bag provided when sawing wood.
u
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock
Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
u
Do not operate the machine without the guard in position.
u
Do not operate the machine if the guard does not function
or is not maintained properly.
Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing
u
bevel cuts.
Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable.
u
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
u
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained
u
and free of loose materials, e.g. chips and off-cuts.
Ensure the machine and the work area are provided with
u
adequate general or localised lighting.
Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
u
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly before use.
u
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Keep the blade sharp. Follow instruction for lubricating
and changing accessories.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
u
equal to the speed marked on the saw.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings used are
u
suitable for the purpose as stated by BLACK+DECKER.
Repairs to the cut line guidance system should be carried
u
out by authorised repair agents or BLACK+DECKER
service staff.
Unplug the machine before carrying out any maintenance
u
or when changing the blade.
Never perform any cleaning, maintenance, removal of any
u
off-cuts or other parts of the work piece form the cutting
area when the machine is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
u
Make sure all locking knobs and handles are tight before
u
starting any operation.
Never use your saw without the table insert.
u
Never attempt to stop the machine in motion rapidly by
u
jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
(Original instructions)
Before using or fitting any accessory consult the instruc-
u
tion manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage.
Raise the blade from the table insert in the work piece
u
prior to releasing the on/of switch.
Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor
u
shaft.
The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when
u
the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade when
the arm is raised. The guard can be raised by hand when
installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the
saw. Never raise the blade guard manually unless the
machine is switched off.
Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and
u
free of chips.
Never make the warning signs on the power tool unrecog-
u
nisable.
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries could
u
occur when the power tool tips over or when coming in
contact with the saw blade.
Do not take hold of the saw blade after working before it
u
has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while work-
ing.
To avoid injury from materials being thrown, unplug the
u
saw to avoid accidental starting, and then remove small
materials.
Before use and after any maintenance the blade guard
u
must be checked to ensure proper function. This test must
be performed with the saw switched off and unplugged.
The arm must be raised and lowered to ensure the
guard covers the blade and the blade does not contact
the guard. If the guard fails to operate correctly, have
your power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent. Call
BLACK+DECKER customer services for you nearest
service agent.
