HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
•
Cutting of pipes. Use caution when cutting hollow pipe and do not cut material where the
blade can enter the pipe when fully retracted, this can cause the blade to strike the inside of
the pipe causing the user to experience unexpected reaction forces.
•
Cutting into walls. Do not cut through walls or cavities without checking for hidden electrical
wires or water pipes etc.
•
Do not attempt to remove tool from work until the blade has completely stopped and allow
time for it to cool before touching the blade immediately after use.
•
Use clamps and vices to secure the workpiece where possible.
•
Cutting sheet materials. Do not cut material less than at least twice the pitch of the saw blade.
At least two teeth must be in contact with the work at all times.
•
Beware of foreign objects. When cutting pre-used wood, ensure all nails have been removed
beforehand. Nails will damage the wood saw blade.
•
Cooling agents. When cutting metals, always use a cooling agent i.e. cutting/soluble oil.
•
Do not attempt to saw small objects including those which cannot be properly secured. Always
hold the saw with both hands.
