• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. to reduce
your exposure to these chemical: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

1. do not use any abrasive wheels.
2. always wear a dust mask, hearing protection and
eye protection.
3. Only use saw blades recommended in the specification.
4. always wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough material. saw blades shall be carried in a
holder whenever practicable.
5. fully unwind extension cord to avoid potential
overheating.
6. When an extension cord is required you must ensure
it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool
and is in a safe electrical condition.
7. Ensure your electrical supply voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate.

9. Before cutting, check that the cutting line is free of
nails, screws, etc.
10. small work must be securely clamped for cutting, do
not cut work secured by hands alone.
11. Never remove the guard system. Never use the saw
if the guard system does not function correctly.
Never lock the moving guard open. The guard must
move freely.
12. always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid
hidden power cable and pipes.
13. after long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
14. do not cut material containing asbestos.
15. do not use Versacut
Safety instructions for all saws
a) DanGeR: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Make sure the hand
that is not holding the saw is well away from the
blade and clear of any possible path of travel of the
saw.

is a hand held tool, do not clamp
to cut tree limbs or logs.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c) adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. it is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
f) when ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades
that do not match the 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.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position
