FINAL SAFETY CHECKS
PART CONDITION YES
Assembly Repeat the Assembly Safety Checks.
Operation With the machine switched off and the battery removed
carry out the following procedures:
• Set the machine to each of its maximum operational
settings in turn.
• At each setting lower the cutting head to its lowest
position, observing the path of the blade as you do so.
• Check that the blade does not interfere or strike any part
of the machine, castings or guards as the cutting head is
lowered.
• Check that when the sliding carriage is employed no
contact between the cutting head and the blade and other
parts of the machine occurs.
• Spin the blade by hand (it is advisable to wear gloves
whilst doing this, but not when the saw is being used
operationally).
• Check that the blade rotates smoothly with no unusual
noises, and that there is no contact between the blade and
the upper and lower blade guards.
• Check that there is no discernible blade ‘wobble’ in any
direction as the blade rotates.
All the Yes Boxes must be ticked before the machine can be used. No tick = No use
