Sawing method
DANGER! Keep your hands
a)
clear of the sawing area
and the saw blade. Hold the
auxiliary handle or motor housing with your
other hand. If you are holding the saw with
both of your hands, neither can be injured by
the saw blade.
Do not reach underneath the
b)
workpiece. The blade guard cannot
protect you from the saw blade underneath
the workpiece.
Set the cutting depth to match the
c)
thickness of the workpiece. The blade
should not extend more than one full tooth
depth under the workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece that you
d)
want to saw in your hand or over
your leg. Fasten the workpiece
onto a stable working surface. It is
important to fasten the workpiece securely
to minimise the danger of bodily contact,
jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.
Always hold the power tool by
e)
the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation
during which the cutting tool may
hit hidden wiring or the tool's own
power cord. Contact with a live wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
When making longitudinal cuts,
f)
always use a rip fence or a straight
edge guide. This will improve the accuracy
of your cut and reduce the likelihood of the
saw blade jamming.
Always use saw blades of the
g)
correct size and with an appropriate
central attachment hole (e.g. star-
shaped or round). Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
