15. Only withdraw the blade from the cut when the blade has been
stopped moving.
16. The pivoting blade foot must be held irmly against the material
being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping and blade
breakage.
17. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails, screws, etc.
18. If possible, ensure the work-piece is irmly clamped to prevent
movement.
19. Never stop the cutting blade by applying side pressure to the
blade.
Warning:
Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to ilter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Cutting wood
Vibration emission value a
h
=13.9m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
Cutting sheet metal Vibration emission value a
h
=11.5m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be dificult and the HSE
website has further information.
