Special safety rules for the compound mitre saw
Caution: Unplug the power cord before service or when replacing a blade.
Assure that all parts operate appropriately and that the safety features protect as
intended before starting the saw.
1.
Caution:
Use only cutting blades. Make sure that tungsten carbide blades
have negative teeth. Do not use blades with deep spaces between the teeth
as such can bend and come in contact with the blade guard. A damaged saw
blade must immediately be replaced.
2. Do not use the saw until it is completely and accurately assembled according
to this operations manual. Verify the rotation direction of the motor and the
blade (see the rotation arrow on the blade guard.) Make certain that the saw
blade does not touch the rotation table in any setting. Unplug the power cord
and lean the saw blade manually at 45° and 90°. Adjust if needed.
3. Unless you understand how the saw is to be used, you should ask a
knowledgeable person for advice.
4. Never saw freehanded. Fasten the workpiece securely against the fence in an
appropriate manner before beginning to saw. If the workpiece you are sawing
requires that you keep your hand as close as 10 cm from the blade, you should
always lock the workpiece in place with a clamp or similar before sawing.
5.
Caution:
Keep your hands clear of the saw blade. Never saw small pieces.
Use supports.
6. Ascertain that the blade is well centred, sharp, and runs freely without vibrating.
7. Let the motor pick up speed before beginning to saw.
8. Keep the ventilation openings of the motor clean and free of sawdust.
9. Always make sure that all clamp screws are tight before beginning to saw,
even if the table is fixed at a firm angle.
10. Make sure that the blade and the flanges are clean and that the spindle nut is
tight, use only the blade flanges that belong to your particular saw.
11. Use only blades 210 mm in diameter and the right speed classification
(at least 6000 RPM).
12. Use an appropriate extra support when sawing long workpieces.
13. Before sawing, always make sure that the blade is not cracked or damaged.
Such a blade should immediately be replaced.
14. Do not use the saw if any component of the saw is missing, damaged, or
faulty, unplug the power cord to the saw if it starts making a strange noise
or vibrating. Let a professional replace the missing or damaged component
before you use the saw again.
15. Never use the saw if the covers are not in place or do not work properly.
15. Never reach around or behind the blade while it rotates. Stand firmly so that
you can always keep your balance.
