b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect
you from the blade below the workpiece.
c.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. lt is important to
support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
e.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run o-centre, causing loss of control.
h. The blade
washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
