How to hold the machine
•
Always hold the machine with both hands, with
the right hand on the main handle and with the
left hand on the side handle. (This applies even if
the operator is left-handed)
•
Do not stand directly in line with the blade.
Rather, stand in such a way that, if it kicks back,
you will not be in the path of the blade.
•
Never lean over the blade path. That would put your body in line with the blade if it kicks back.
•
Do not cut above shoulder height.
•
Never cut while standing on a ladder or other unstable platform.
Before cutting
•
Check the area where the cut is to be made to ensure that it is clear of objects which could cause the
operator to stumble.
•
Before cutting, it is sometimes useful to mark the line of cut with chalk or the like. For straight cutting, a
wood plank is also useful in guiding the machine to make a straight cut.
•
Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance.
•
Ensure that all safety equipment is in place.
Proper Support for the Workpiece
•
Support the workpiece on in such a way that the
kerf will not pinch down on the blade.
•
Secure the workpiece so that it will not roll, slip
away or move due to vibration while cutting
•
The cutting sequence is important when making
cutouts. Always make the last cut in a way that
avoids the blade being pinched. Thus, make the
