Safety Information
During Use
• Do not operate the machine in confined areas where there may be a risk of
crushing the operator between the machine and another object.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments, while the machine is running.
• You must switch off the machine:
- Before checking or working on the machine.
- When transporting the machine.
- Whenever you leave the machine unattended.
- If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally.
• WARNING! If something breaks or an accident happens whilst working, you must
turn off the machine immediately and move the machine away to prevent further
damage. If an accident happens with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out
the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the
medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris
that might cause damage or harm persons or animals should it not be seen.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the machine immediately and inspect the
machine thoroughly for damage. Repair the damage before continuing.
•
Keep extension cord away from moving parts.
• Never operate the machine with damaged guards or without the guard in
place.
• Keep hands and feet away from the moving parts at all times especially when
switching on the motor.
•
Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw
blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
• Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or
does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the
fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes
misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback
• Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces.
The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
• Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating
saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will
create a binding condition and kickback.
• Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the
workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may
drag your fingers into the saw blade.
• Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the
same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece
at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade
