Specific Safety Warnings for Mitre
Saw
■ 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, suds,
etc.abrasive dust causes moving parts such
as the lower guard to jam. Sparks form
abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard,
the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
■ 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.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw
blade, there is an increased risk of injury from
blade contact.
■ The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence
and the 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.
■ 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.
