SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS

1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT the mitre saw from the socket before replacing the saw blade and
before any fixing, cleaning or maintenance work or any kind of intervention.
2. DO NOT START the mitre saw until it has been completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions of this manual, until all the protection devices are assembled and
working and all locking handles are correctly tighten.
3. PLACE the mitre saw on a plane and horizontal surface in order to avoid any dangerous
oscillation and movements.
4. ALWAYS press the workpiece to the fence. Do not work freehand.
5. ALWAYS keep your hands away from saw blade's track. Do not go too near to the saw blade
when cutting small pieces; it is preferable to use clamps.
6. DO NOT PLACE your hands behind or over the saw blade and avoid any uncomfortable
positions with your hands and body.
7. DO NOT remove stuck wood pieces while the blade is turning. You can intervene after
switching off the machine and having waited for the blade to stop rotating.
8. LEAN on a support the ends of big workpieces which come out sideways or behind the
workbench.
9. BE SURE that workbench's extensions are locked before starting the machine.
10. ALWAYS USE the table saw in a well ventilated area. Often remove the sawdust. Carefully
remove the sawdust that is inside the saw to avoid risk of fire.
11. CHECK that the saw blade is well sharpened, that it rotates freely and without any vibrations.
12. DO NOT use saw blades which are damaged or deformed or high speed blades in high alloy (
as for example HSS ).
13. ONLY USE saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, in compliance with EN 847-1
standard.
14. ONLY USE saw blades, which are suitable to the material to be cut and on which the marked
speed is higher than the one of the machine. When changing the blade, check if external
diameter and bore diameter are correct, that cutting width and blade body are not thinner than
the riving knife width. Always transport the saw blade inside its case.
15. ONLY USE saw blades suitable for crosscut. Saw blades with hard metal plates must have a
cutting angle which is negative or null. DO NOT use deep teeth saw blades since they can
bend and get in touch with the saw blade protective cap.
16. BEFORE ASSEMBLING the saw blade and the flanges, be sure that they are clean and that
the lock screw is well tightened.
17. USE this table saw only to cut wood and similar materials. Never cut ferrous materials.
18. BE SURE that the saw blade does not touch the workpiece before starting cutting.
