SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Some wood and wood type products, especially
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard), can produce dust that
canbehazardousto yourhealth.Werecommendtheuse of
an approved face mask with replaceable filters when using this
machineinadditiontousingthedustextractionfacility.Ensure
that power tools are disconnected from the mains supply when
not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making adjustments
andwhenchangingaccessoriessuchasblades,bitsandcutters.
DoNotusebladesmadefromHighSpeedSteel.DoNotstop
thebladebyforcingthemachineorbyusingsidewayspressure.
DoNotfitagrindingorcuttingdisctothismachine.Alwaysuse
the correcttype of blade for the operationto be carriedout.
DoNotusebladesthatarebentorhavemissingteeth.Thisis
highly dangerous and could result in a serious accident causing
injurytotheoperator,bystandersanddamagetothemachine.
Only use blades that are recommended by the supplier and
thatareingoodcondition.DoNot usebladesthatarelarger
thanspecified.Onlyusebladesthatareratedforthemachine.
The rotational speed shown on the blade should always be
HIGHERthantherotationalspeedofthemachine.Ensurethat
the directional arrow marked on the blade corresponds with the
rotationaldirectionofthemotor.Theteethofthebladeshould
alwayspointdownwardasviewedfromthefrontofthesaw.Do
Notlockthebladeguardintheupposition.Ensurethatmovable
guardsoperatefreelywithoutjamming.KeepGuardsinplace
andingoodworkingorder.Withthemachinedisconnectedfrom
the mains supply check the operation of the guard to ensure
thatitoperatescorrectly.DoNotusebladesthebodyofwhich
is thicker or the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the
rivingknife.(SeeIllustration“A”)Alwaysensurethatthedistance
between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade is
notmorethan5mm.(SeeIllustration“B”)Alwaysensurethatthe
toothed rim of the saw blade does not extend more than 5mm
beyondtheloweredgeoftherivingknife.(SeeIllustration“C”)
Alwayskeepthebladesecuringarborandcollarsclean.
Wheneverreplacingbladesensurethattherecessedsurface
ofthebladecollarfitssnuglyagainstthesurfaceoftheblade.
Ensure that the blade securing bolt is securely tightened using
thewrenchesprovided.Donotovertighten.Useonlyblades
that are recommended by the manufacturer.  Do not start
the machine with the blade in contact with the work piece.
Check the work piece for any protruding nails, screw heads
oranythingthat coulddamagethe blade. Donotattemptto
modifythemachineoritsaccessoriesinanyway.Donotforce
the machine let the machine do the work this will reduce the
wear on the machine and blade and increase its efficiency and
operatinglife.Approvedeardefendersshouldbewornwhen
using circular saws.  Do not cut timber greater than 75mm,
Metal,Stone,Rubber,Plastic,Bones,Etc.Donotfitanyother
toolorcombinationofblades.Donotmodifythemachineorits
guards/controlsinanyway.Donotusewithanycovers/guards
removed.Always use the blade guard, riving knife and anti
kickbackpawsfor everyoperation,includingthrough sawing.
Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completelythroughtheworkpiecewhenrippingorcrosscutting.
Alwaysholdtheworkfirmlyagainstthemitregaugeorfence.
Always use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to
rippingapplicationsininstructionmanual.
Alwaysuseeitherthefenceorthemitregaugetopositionand
guidethework.Neverstandorhaveanypartofyourbodyinline
withthepathofthesawblade.Keepyourhandsoutoftheline
ofthesawblade.Neverreachbehindoroverthecuttingtoolfor
anyreason.Ifoffcutsofwoodbecomejammedinthemachine,
switchoffanddisconnectfromsupplybeforeremoval.Feedthe
workpieceintothebladeagainstthedirectionofrotationonly.
Neverusetheripfenceasacut-offgaugewhencross-cutting.
NEVERattempttofreeastalledsawbladewithoutfirstturning
thesawOFF.
Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw
tableforwideorlongworkpieces.Avoidkickback(workthrown
backtowardyou)bykeepingthebladesharp,keepingripfence
paralleltothesawblade,keepingspreaderandanti-kickback
pawls(iffitted)andguardinplace.Donotreleaseworkbefore
itispushedallthewaypastthesawblade.Donotripworkthat
is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide
alongthefence.Avoidawkwardoperationsandhandpositions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
blade.NeverusesolventstocleanplasticpartsSolventscould
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a
softdampclothshouldbeusedtocleanplasticparts.Usein
awellventilatedarea.Removesawdustfrequently.Cleanout
sawdust from the interior of the saw to prevent a potential fire
hazard.Sawdustispotentiallyhazardoustohealth.Alwaysuse
a suitable dust collection system and wear an approved face
mask.
