24) MAKE SURE THAT THE PIECE TO BE PROCESSED IS WELL
POSITIONED
It is very important for your safety that the piece in process is
well positioned against the appropriate supporting guide, that it is
locked against the vice and that its two extremities rest on specific

trunks or circular sections. Do not cut pieces that contain nails or
screws or wrapped in tape, cord or other. Do not cut pieces on a
slant. Rest them on the base of the machine. Do not cut in pieces

wear protective gloves. Serious injury hazard!
29) ONLY USE BLADES IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITIONS
Do not use damaged or deformed blades; if worn, replace them
with new blades.
30) DO NOT FORCE THE BLADE
Do not subject the blade to: collision, bending, excessive pressure,
heat, irregular speed changes, vibrations. In these conditions, the
tool has a limited working life and may break without warning with
the risk of flying fragments.
