and dangerous KICKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.
It's important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and
incorrect ways for handling your saw are.
equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the workpiece and work
area prior to making the first cut with the saw.
•
Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the material to be cut.
• Check the blade, make sure it is the correct one for the material to be cut, and it is sharp and not damaged.
• Set the cutting depth. (See "Setting the cutting depth" section)
• Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench, table or floor. use a piece of scrap
material underneath if:
> You do not wish to damage the work surface.
> The work surface is likely to damage the blade. e.g. a concrete floor.
• Draw a cutting line along the desired path of cut.
• Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move during the cut.
• Plug the tool into a power source.
• Grasp the tool firmly and rest its metal base plate onto the surface to be cut. ensure that the rear half of the
base plate overhangs the work surface.
• Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the
workpiece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting.
• Switch on the laser if necessory. Depress the lock off / plunge release button. Switch the tool on and wait a
moment for the blade to run up to full speed. Plunge the blade into the material slowly and gentaly, but firmly.
Then push the tool forward along the line to be cut.
NOTE:
Never draw the tool backwards.
• Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. excess force will cause operator fatigue and
excessive wear to the blade and tool.
• Make sure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is particularly important at the
start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the base plate is not fully supported.
• Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If a lot of dust has
been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from within the tool.
