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.
