E N G L I S H
• Saw blades made of high alloy, high speed steel
(HSS steel) should not be used.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working
condition should be used; cracked or bent saw
blades should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed and
rotates in the correct direction.
Special applications
• When cutting narrow workpieces (width less than
80 mm) longitudinally, use a rip fence guide along
the longitudinal edge.
• When sawing with the workpiece clamped tight,
devices should be used to prevent the workpiece
kicking back.
• When sawing circular sections of wood use a
device to hold the workpiece steady on both
sides of the saw blade to prevent slipping.
• Ensure that pieces of wood sawn off the
workpiece cannot be caught up by the teeth of
the saw blade and thrown in the air.
Guard against kickback
• Kickback occurs when the saw begins to stall
rapidly and is driven back towards the operator.
Release the switch immediately if the blade sticks
or the saw stalls.
• Keep the saw blades sharp.
• Supports large panels near the cutting area.
• Use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping;
do not force the tool.
• Do not remove the saw from the work during a
cut while the saw blade is rotating.
