Additional Safety Instruction For Chopsaws
• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the
wheel. The wheel should also be inspected
whenever you think the tool may have been
dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement
wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the
wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it
run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected
crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute.
Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel.
This includes the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it
rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool andinspect
the wheel for cracks or flaws.
• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure
in this manual.
• Do not remove wheel guards or base.
• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO
CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring,
bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes
and shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and
placing these clamps and make a dry run before making
a cut.
• Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm or higher.
