1. Lower the blade guard to within
approximately 3mm above the
material being cut.
2. Always keep hands and fingers away
from the saw blade, especially when
coming to the end of a cut.
3. Use a push stick or piece of scrap
wood to do the pushing and guiding
when sawing small pieces which
would otherwise require the fingers
to be close to the saw.
4. Switch the machine off and let the
blade come to a stop before
removing scrap pieces from the
table.
6. Make all adjustments and set ups
with the power off and plug removed
from the power supply, such as tilting
the table, adjusting the saw blade
guards and blade guides.
7. Disconnect the machine before
adjusting the blade tension and the
blade tracking.
8. The cover housing must be in place
and securely fastened before
performing any operation.
9. Securely lock all adjustable parts so
they cannot loosen. This will prevent
distraction from the operation.
10. When sawing curves, make relief
cuts to allow removal of scrap
material. This will help prevent
undue twisting or binding of the saw
blade. The relief cuts are made
before starting the curved saw cut.
11. Hold material firmly and feed into
the blade at a moderate speed.
12. Be sure to use the correct blade size
and type for the application.
13. Do not saw any material that does
not have a flat surface, unless a
suitable support is used.
