Do not put pressure on the tool. Allow the blade to cut at its own pace. This will produce better
results and maximise the service life of the tool
•
Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance for the blade under the workpiece
•
Always keep the shoe pressed against the workpiece
•
Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the specifications section of this manual
•
Do not force the blade to bend or twist whilst cutting
•
If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, allow the blade to come to a complete stop
before lifting it from the workpiece
•
Do not use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade
•
Do not reach over the blade to remove waste or off-cuts
•
Blades heat up during use. Allow to cool completely before handling
•
If a blade jams, disconnect the machine from the power supply prior to releasing the blade
•
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings, tighten where necessary
Cutting Tool Safety
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch, power point, receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the
user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage
less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Use the correct cutting tool
•
Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without checking
the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
•
Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
•
Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal lenses are
not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
•
Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
•
Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hands
•
Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a suitable push stick for
shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools
Be aware of others around you
•
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work area are
not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable protective equipment
Hidden objects
•
Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting
•
Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the cutting
tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
•
Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long grass may
conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before proceeding
Beware of projected waste
•
In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user's
responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the possibility of
projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
•
Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches / adjusters are
removed prior to use
•
Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
•
Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
•
Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
•
Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening, these may include
specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten
•
Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the blade manufacturer's
instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can be resharpened
•
Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced immediately if
there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
•
In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable for,
blades should be replaced immediately
Direction of feed
•
Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade or cutter
Beware of heat
•
Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until they
have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
•
Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is
explosive
•
Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common
cause of wood dust fires
•
Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment
