(8.5) PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Stand to one side so that your
face and body are out of line of a possible kickback.
Freehand cutting is a major cause of
accidents and should not be attempted.
• Ensure that the workpiece is always firmly resting against
the fence, and where practical is clamped with the Hold
Down Clamp to the table.
• The saw table should be clean and free from any sawdust etc.
before the workpiece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ material is free to move sideways
away from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that
the ‘cut-off’ piece cannot become ‘jammed’ in any other
part of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
150mm of the sawblade, the workpiece is too small.
(8.6) RELEASING THE CUTTING HEAD
The Cutting Head will automatically rise to the upper position
once it is released from the locked down position.
It will automatically lock in the upper position.
To Release the Cutting Head
from the Locked Down position:
• Gently press down on the Cutting Handle.
• Pull out the head latching pin
(Fig. 15)
and allow
the Cutting Head to rise to its upper position.
If Release is Difficult:
• Gently rock the Cutting Head up and down.
• At the same time twist the Head Latching Pin
clockwise and pull outwards.
Note:
We recommend that when the machine is not in use
the Cutting Head is locked in its down position with the
latching pin fully engaged in its socket.
