MAKING A BASIC CUT
WARNING I
Ensure that the workpiece is securely
clamped to the saw table and against the
fence and in the required position, before
plugging the saw into a power source.
Cut only one piece at a time.
With the power OFF, lower the Cutting
Head toward the workpiece to observe
the path of the blade.
Also switch on the laser to preview the
path of the blade.
With the Cutting Head in its upper
position, squeeze the trigger switch to
start the motor.
Allow the motor and blade to run up to
full speed.
Gently but firmly lower the Cutting Head
to its lowest position cutting through the
workpiece.
Release the trigger switch and allow the
blade to come to a complete halt.
Raise the Cutting Head to its upper
position with the guard covering the
blade, before removing your hand from
the Cutting Head Handle.
Only remove the workpiece when the
Cutting Head is in the upper position
with the blade guard covering the blade
and the motor stopped.
IA WARNING I
Never leave the saw unattended and
plugged into a power source.
Make the workshop childproof, and always
lock the workshop when not in use.
Store the tool in a secure, locked
cupboard or similar with no access for
unqualified users or children.
