tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both
sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making
cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g. Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive wheels on this saw.
WARNING: Only use blade diameters in accordance with the specifications.
CAUTION: Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use undue downforce.
CAUTION: When cutting plastics, avoid melting the plastic.
CAUTION: The blade guard system must be kept clean and operating smoothly at all times.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE MITER SAW
There is no substitute for a careful attentive operator. Conversely there is no safety device that can
protect a careless operator in all situations.
1.
Always make a habit of checking the machine before each use to ensure that all parts of the saw are in
proper working order.
2.
Do not use damaged, bent, cracked or dull blades.
3.
When cutting aluminum or plastic stock, it is essential that you use a fine tooth blade of at least 80 teeth.
A coarse blade will hook into the stock and eject it. This is of course very hazardous, so never attempt to
use a coarse blade with these materials.
4.
This machine is not suitable for cutting steel and other ferrous metals.
5.
Never attempt to cut round or irregular cross-section stock without using a suitable jig.
6.
If the blade stalls, switch off immediately.
7.
Never stop the blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
8.
When using machine on a workstand, always clamp it down.
9.
Always listen to the machine and switch off immediately if abnormal sounds are heard.
10.
Do not operate machine unless it is properly grounded.
11.
Always unplug the machine when changing settings or performing maintenance.
Keep the slide lock tight unless slide action is needed.(Slide equipped models only)
12.
Ensure that the blade guard opens and closes smoothly.
13.
Always support long pieces with an additional supporting stand of appropriate height.
14.
Gloves must be worn for handling saw blades and rough material. ( We recommend that saw blades
should be carried in a holder whenever practicable).
15.
Keep the floor area free of loose material such as chips and cut-offs.
16.
Any spacers and/or spindle rings used must be suitable for the purpose as stated by the manufacturer.
17.
The workpiece should not be attempted to cut if its size is too small to be properly supported by the fence
and clamp.
18.
Do not use sawblades which are outside of the specifications listed
WARNING: Only use this machine with the guards all properly positioned, in good working
