You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health, we recommend the
use of an approved face mask with replaceable
filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: the operation of any power
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where needed.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep yoursecond hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
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 the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only. When performing
an operation where the cutting tool may
ontact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
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 arbour
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
Kickback causes and related warnings
– 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 with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the
saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces
can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
