10. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of ferrous or other
objects on the table that contact the revolving
blade can be thrown with high speed.
11. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
12. Ensure the power tool is mounted or placed
on a level, firm work surface before use. A
level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the
power tool becoming unstable.
13. Provide adequate support such as blocks, saw
horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or
wider than the metal cutting saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or work-
piece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
14. Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into
the spinning blade.
15. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
16. Always use the vise and properly support the
workpiece considering its shape. For example,
Rods and channels have a tendency to roll or shift
while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and
pull the work with your hand into the blade.
17. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
18. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the power tool off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the power tool.
19. After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
20. Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
21. The outside diameter of the saw blade must be
the specified capacity. Incorrectly sized accesso-
ries cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
22. The arbour size of saw blade and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Saw
blade and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
23. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool.
24. Do not use the metal cutting saw to cut other
than mild steel or stainless steel.
Additional instructions
Never stand on the metal cutting saw. Tipping
1.
over or unintentional contact with the cutting
means could cause serious injury.
Never leave the power tool running unat-
2.
tended. Turn the power off. Do not leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
Do not operate saw without guards in place.
3.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
4. Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade.
Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It can
still cause serious injury.
5. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the power tool.
6. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.
7.
8. Always use undamaged flanges and fixing
bolt that are of correct diameter for the blade.
Proper flanges support the blade thus reduc-
ing the possibility of blade breakage.
9. Make sure the shaft lock is released before
turning the power tool on.
10. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
11. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before turning the power tool on.
12. Before using the power tool on an actual work-
piece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installa-
tion or a poorly balanced blade.
13. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
14. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
15. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
16. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
