•
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all
nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.
•
Support the work properly.
•
Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is
running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
•
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
•
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood.
Let the blade come to rest naturally.
•
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
•
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
•
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
•
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable,
the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch off at
the mains and remove the plug immediately.
•
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
•
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade.
•
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and
always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating
and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.
•
Connect the saw to a dust collection devise and ensure
that it is operated properly. As the operator of the saw,
please make sure that you understand factors that
influence exposure to dust, including the type of material
to be machined, the importance of local extraction and
the proper adjustment of hoods/baffles/shoots of your
dust extraction system. We recommend that you always
wear a dust mask when operating this saw.
•
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
•
Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever possible.
•
Select saw blades in relation to the material being cut.
•
Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the
maximum speed marked on the blade.
•
Take additional care when trenching (slotting).
•
The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carrying
handle but only once it has been removed from the
mains power and secured in the locked down position.
•
Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevelling.
•
Keep the floor area around the machine level, well
maintained and free of loose materials.
•
Ensure that you are trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine.
•
Do not remove any cut-offs from the cutting area until
the guard is fully locked in placed and the blade has
come to rest.
•
When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table
width, ensure that the ends are adequately supported at
the same height as the saw table top. Supports should
be positioned in such a way to ensure that the workpiece
does not fall to the ground once the cut has been made.
A number of supports at regular intervals may be required
if the workpiece is extremely long.
Wear goggles
Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
