Product Familiarisation
e) Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Specifications
section of this manual
f) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than
a full tooth of the blade should be visible below the workpiece
g) Ensure work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under their
own weight and bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, close to the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel
h) Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting
path
i) Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body
exposure is minimised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
j) Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating
k) Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the
workpiece
l) Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect
you from the blade
m) Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade
n) Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects
prior to starting work
o) Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting
p) If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, or if the blade
binds in the cut, allow the blade to come to a complete stop and lift the
saw out of the workpiece
q) Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first disconnecting the
machine from power
r) Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting
s) Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste material may be
projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure other people in the work area are protected from the possibility
of projected waste
t) If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process
and switch off before diverting your attention
u) Check the lower guard for proper closure before each use. Do not
operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If
the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut
v) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before
resting the saw on a surface after use. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the saw to move backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the trigger
switch is released
w) Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings have not become
loose, and tighten where necessary
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use
other than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case
of misuse. The user, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for any
damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the
tool nor for any damage resulting from such modifications. Even when
the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual
risk factors.
Laser Safety
The laser used in this device is a Class 2 laser with maximum power of
≤1mW and a wavelength of 650Nm.
These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at
the beam may cause flash blindness.
WARNING:
Avoid direct eye contact.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please observe
all safety rules as follows:
• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions
• Do not switch on the laser light until the tool is ready to cut
• Never aim the beam at any person, and particularly not into the eyes of
any person or animal, or any object other than the workpiece
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without
reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable.
Reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser use as the
reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator
• Do not change the laser light assembly. Repairs must only be carried out
by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent. DO NOT exchange with
a different type of laser
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Please refer to the relevant EN standards, EN60825-1:2007 for more
information on Lasers.
