14.

 Use a push stick at the end of a cut. This is the most dangerous 

time because the cut is complete and the blade is exposed. 

15.

 Hold the wood firmly and feed it into the machine at a moderate 

speed. 

16.

 Turn off the machine if you have to back the material out of an 

incomplete or jammed cut.

Machine test. 

Now is the time to test the machine. 

Note.

 To reset the emergency stop button, twist and pull out. 

1.

 Check that the machine is clear of all tools and other loose objects. 

2.

 Check that all the adjusting and locking handles are tight. 

3.

 Check that there is 

no blade or cutter fitted

; it is far safer to test 

the machine without a blade or cutter fitted. 

4.

 Start the saw as described earlier in the manual. 

5.

 The saw arbor is now turning. 

6.

 Now is the time to check that the safety switch is functioning 

correctly before you fit a blade. 

7.

 With the machine running (no blade fitted), operate one of the 

emergency stop buttons.

 

8.

 If the safety switch fails to operate correctly, do not use the 

machine until the fault has been corrected.
