Cutting procedures
1.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxil-
iary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holdingthesaw,theycannotbecutbytheblade.
2.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowtheworkpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo-
sure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum
