Additional Safety Rules for Metal Cutting Saw
1. WARNING: Do not operate your metal cutting saw until it is completely assembled and
installed according to the instructions.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of the metal cutting saw, obtain
advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
3. WEAR safety goggles, face shield, face mask, body apron, head covering, safety shoes,
long tight-fitting sleeves and gloves.
4. BE SURE blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of vibration.
5. TIGHTEN arbor screw and all clamps before operating.
6. MAKE SURE not to reach behind or over the cutting tool with either hand for any reason.
7. ALWAYS keep guards in place and working properly.
8. KEEP hands out of the path of the saw blade.
9. SECURE work piece properly. Work should be straight and firmly clamped to avoid
possible movement and pinching as the cut nears completion.
10. NEVER cut anything freehand.
11. NEVER reach behind or underneath the blade.
12. MAKE SURE the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing work
piece or changing work piece angle.
13. BE SURE blade and flanges are clean and that arbor screw is tightened securely.
14. NEVER use blades larger or smaller in outside diameter and arbor than recommended.
15. USE ONLY blades rated at 1500 R.P.M or higher and conform to EN 847-1. Never use
blade from high speed steel.
16. ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or other damage before operation. Do not use
blades which are damaged or deformed.
17. USE ONLY blade flanges specified for your machine.
18. MAKE SURE blade is not contacting work piece before switch is turned on.
19. ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed before starting cut.
20. AFTER TURNING MACHINE ON, lower blade lightly until it comes with the work piece
and then draw blade firmly through the cut. DO NOT allow the blade to chatter and jump as
this may cause the blade to wear cut of round, resulting in poor cutting and possible broken
blades.
21. ALWAYS keep the lower blade guard in place.
22. IMPORTANT: After completing cut, release power switch and wait for coasting blade to
stop before returning saw to raised position.
