MITRE SAW SPECIFIC SAFETY
(3.5)
• Not to use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
• Use only the saw with guards in good
working order and properly maintained, and
in position.
• Always to clamp work-pieces to the saw table.
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abrasive
cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such
as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the
kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your
hand at least 150mm from either side of the
saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that
are too small to be securely clamped or held by
hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw
blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
