off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
13.
DO NOT
use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as
additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling
you and the helper into the spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against
the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off
piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
15.
ALWAYS
use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round
material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being
cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the
blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will
reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for
all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source.
Then work to free the jammed material.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and
wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching
with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing
the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward.
SAFETY FOR THE HANDLING OF SAW BLADES
1. Check the condition of the blade before using the saw.
2.
DO NOT
use damaged or deformed saw blades.
3.
ONLY
use saw blades recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar materials must comply with
EN 847-1.
5.
DO NOT
use saw blades made of high-speed alloy steel (HSS steel). Only
use replacement blades from your CLARKE dealer.
6. Observe the saw blade direction of rotation.
7. Clean any grease, oil and water off of the clamping surfaces.
