3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used
with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs,
etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic
parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either
side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be
securely clamped or held by hand.
thereis an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence
andthe table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any
way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds,
causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece.
To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting,
start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the
workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind
the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the
workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either
side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the
blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped,
clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that
there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting.There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except
for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that
contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
