Do Not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
Do Not use saw blades that are manufactured
from high speed steel (HSS).
If the table insert becomes damaged or worn it
must be replaced with an identical one available
from the manufacturer as detailed in this manual.
(3.6)
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight
from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.
(3.7)
SAFE OPERATION
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut.
Do Not
use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90 degree down
position (if a sliding mitre saw ensure that
the slide bars are locked). Lift the machine by
gripping the outer edges of the base with both
hands (if a sliding mitre saw, transport using
the handles provided). Under no circumstances
shall the machine be lifted or transported
using the retractable guard or any part of its
operating mechanism.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed
marked on the saw blade is at least equal to
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be
used that is marked with a speed that is less than
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
Where it is necessary to use spacer or reducing
rings these must be suitable for the intended
purpose installed and used as recommended
by the manufacturer.
If the mitre saw is fitted with a laser it shall not
be replaced with a different type. If the laser
fails to operate it shall be repaired or replaced
by the manufacturer or his authorised agent.
The saw blade shall only be replaced as
detailed in this Instruction Manual.
Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other
part of the work piece until the cutting head is
in the raised position, the guard is fully closed
and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
(3.8)
PERFORM CUTS
CORRECTLY AND SAFELY
Wherever practicable always secure the work
piece to the saw table using the work clamp
where provided.
Always ensure that before each cut the mitre
saw is mounted in a stable position.
