11 To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
12 Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
13 Do not cut metals such as nails and screws.
Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other
foreign matter from the work piece before
operation.
14 Knock out any loose knots from work piece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
15 Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
16 For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
17 The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the tool.
18 Keep hands and make your bystander and
yourself position out of path of and not in line
with saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting
blade. It can still cause severe injury and never
reach around saw blade.
19 Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
20 Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
21 Before using the tool on an actual work piece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
22 Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
23 The tool should not be used for slotting,
rabbetting or grooving.
24 Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts
of the work piece from the cutting area whilst the
tool is running and the saw head is not in the rest
position.
25 Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
26 Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving work piece or changing settings.
27 Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing or
not in use.
28 Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based-painted material and,
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
29 Connect the tool to a dust collecting device when
sawing.
30 Make sure that the table is securely fixed with the
lever after turning it over.
CAUTION
Limitations on ambient conditions: < 40°C
When using in mitre saw mode:
31 Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminium or similar materials.
32 Do not perform operation freehand when cutting
work piece in an area close to saw blade. The
work piece must be secured firmly against the
turntable and guide fence during all operations.
33 Make sure that the turntable is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
34 Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
bevelling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the
arm.
35 Make sure the blade does not contact the
turntable in the lowest position and is not
contacting the work piece before the switch is
turned on.
36 Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
When using in the table saw (bench saw) mode:
37 Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support or
guide the work piece, in lieu of a rip fence.
38 Make sure that the turntable is fixed securely.
39 Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise to
fix the arm.
40 Use a push stick or a push block to avoid
working with the hands and fingers close to the
saw blade.
41 Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or work piece before the switch is turned
on.
