cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and replaced at once.
2. ALWAYS ensure that the blade is securely fixed.
3. ALWAYS
use the appropriate blade for the material being cut.
4. ALWAYS use a cooling agent when cutting metals, i.e. cutting oil.
5. ALWAYS allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade
does not come into contact with the floor, table etc.
6. ALWAYS check for hidden electrical wires or water pipes etc.
7. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an
adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not
restricted by the length of the cable.
