• Never place your hands within the 'no hands
zone' (at least 150mm away from the blade).
Keep hands away from the path of the blade.
• Secure the work-piece firmly to the table and
against the fence to prevent any movement.
• Use a Hold Down Clamp if possible but
check that it is so positioned that it does
not interfere with the path of the blade
or other moving machine parts.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause
your fingers or a hand to move into the blade.
• Before attempting a cut, make a 'dry run'
with the power off so that you can see the
path of the blade.
• Keep your hands in position until the ON/
OFF trigger switch has been released and
the blade has completely stopped.

pREpARiNG TO MAKE A CUT

(8.5)
DO NOT OVER-REACh
Keep good footing and balance. Stand to one
side so that your face and body are out of line
of a possible kickback.
wARNiNG: Freehand cutting is a major cause
of accidents and should not be attempted.
• Ensure that the workpiece is always firmly
resting against the fence, and where
practical is clamped with the Hold Down
Clamp to the table.
• The saw table should be clean and free from
any sawdust etc. before the workpiece is
clamped into position.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' material is free to
move sideways away from the blade when
the cut is completed. Ensure that the
'cut-off' piece cannot become 'jammed'
in any other part of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces.
If the work-piece being cut would cause your
hand or fingers to be within 150mm
of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
