SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessories contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.
Use only blades which are listed in
“SPECIFICATIONS”.
3.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
4.
Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a
bundle of workpieces, be sure that all
workpieces are secured together firmly before
cutting.
5.
Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause
the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off
all excess oil from workpieces before cutting.
6.
Never use the cutting oil as a cutting lubricant.
Use only Makita cutting wax.
