Never leave tool running unattended. Turn
power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
Never leave the switch in "ON" position.
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups
may cause injury.
Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions and always make sure you have
good balance. A sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade.
Firmly clamp or bolt your saw station to a
stable, level workbench or table. The most
comfortable table height is approximately
waist height.
Never stand on tool. Injury may occur if the
tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally
contacted.
Before making a cut, be sure all
adjustments are secure. Loose table or
guards could shift in use and cause you to
lose control of the workpiece.
Always adjust drop foot to just clear the
workpiece. Proper adjustment of the drop
foot will stabilize the workpiece, help protect
your fingers, and minimize blade breakage.
Always support large workpieces while
cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching
and loss of control. A heavy workpiece may
cause the table to slip, walk or slide while
cutting.
Be sure the blade path is free of nails.
Inspect for and remove nails from lumber or
workpiece before cutting or sanding.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not hand-hold pieces so small that your
fingers go under the drop foot. Do not
reach underneath work or in blade cutting
path with your hands and fingers for any
reason. Close hand proximity to the blade
may result in blade contact and injury.
Never start the tool when the blade is in
contact with the workpiece. Allow the
motor to come up to full speed before
starting a cut. Having the blade in contact
with the workpiece on start up may cause
loss of control.
Safety Rules for the Saw Station
Observe and follow correct direction of
feed and do not feed the material too
quickly. Hold the work firmly against the
table. Feed work into a blade against the
teeth of the blade. Feeding material too
forcefully may cause blade to break.
Use caution when cutting materials with
an irregular cross-section or rounds like
dowel rods. If possible lay the material on
its "flat" side when cutting. For round
stock use a "Vee" block to support the
material. Wavy material like molding will
tend to rock and may bind while cutting.
Rounds will tend to roll while being cut and
the blade may "bite" and grab it from your
control.
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until
blade has stopped. Never touch blade or
other moving parts during use. Contacting
the blade or other moving mechanism may
cause injury.
Use base only with the Dremel Moto-Saw.
Other tools may not fit and cause a
hazardous condition.
Position vacuum hoses such that you do
not block the power switch. You must
maintain clear access to the ON/OFF switch
for full control.
When connecting tool to dust collection
and extraction systems, be sure these are
connected and used according to tool and
vacuum instructions. Proper use of dust
collection systems maximizes effectiveness.
When using tool with dust collection and
extraction systems, empty the dust
container before beginning work,
frequently during work, after completion
of work, and before storing the tool. Use
care when disposing dust, materials in fine
particle form may be explosive.
Do not throw dust on an open fire. Fine
dust particles may burn explosively.
Do not use dust extraction for operations
that include burning, smoking or
smoldering items like hot ashes or
sparks. Fire inside the vacuum bag/tank may
occur. Dust may smolder and set vacuum on
fire long after work is completed.
