Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Only use
sharp blades.
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent
the work piece from turning on both sides of the
blade.
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or
waste close by the blade.
Use only blades as recommended.
Do not use blades of High Speed Steel (HSS blades)
Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and
remove all nails and other foreign objects before
beginning sawing.
Support the work properly.
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off
cuts.
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let
the blade come to rest naturally.
If you are interrupted when operating the saw,
complete the process and switch off before looking
up.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the
blade.
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position
and always ensure that it is working properly, freely
rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the
blade.
Do not use any abrasive wheel unless the machine is
designed for that purpose.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.

will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection
with the tool’s construction and design:
Contact with the blade.
Kickback of workpiece and parts of workpiece.
Blade fracture
Catapulting of blade pieces.
Damage to hearing if effective ear defenders are not
