HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards. 4) Power Tool Use And Care a) Do not force the power tool.
g) Always use blade with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match he mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
