SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MS100
SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW
of the saw blade should force it down against the table and rearward against
the fence during the cut. Cutting in the other direction, pulling the cutting head
and blade towards you during the cut may cause the blade to climb on top of
the workpiece and create a kickback. When this happens, the cutting head
may jump out of your hand or the workpiece fl y loose and cause serious injury.
10. DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH ANY
SURFACE. This may cause the saw to bounce or kick back violently and could
cause injury.
11. IF MAKING A CUT USING ONE HAND TO HOLD THE SAW, ensure the free
hand is clear of the cutting area.
