• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the
switch.
• Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected
to the electrical power source.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or
other means against the blade; serious accidents can be caused
unintentionally in this way.
• Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
• Do not use any abrasive discs.
Additional safety rules for saw benches
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the
teeth are pointing to the front of the saw bench.
• Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
• Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the recessed sides of the
collar are against the blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
• Keep the saw blade sharp and properly set.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance form
the blade - 3-8 mm.
• Never operate the saw without the upper and lower guards in place.
• Keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade.
• Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before changing blades or
carrying out maintenance.
• Use a push stick at all times, and ensure that you do not place hands
closer than 150 mm from the saw blade while cutting.
• Do not attempt to operate on anything but the designated voltage.
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
• Do not reach around behind the saw blade.
