d) Always observe that the lower guard
is covering the blade before placing
saw down on a bench or the floor.
An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING:
When drilling, sanding, sawing or
grinding, dust particles will be produced. In
some instances, depending on the materials
you are working with, this dust can be
particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from
old gloss paint).You are advised to consider
the risks associated with the materials you
are working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure.
You should:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
a) DANGER:
Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade.
Keep your
second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot come into contact with the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold the piece being cut in your
hands or across your legs.
Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide.
This improves the
accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance
of the blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
