a professional and you should not
attempt to remove it yourself.
Once the dust has been deposited on surfaces,
hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
As some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: the operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

[Cutting procedures]
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If
both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands
or across your leg while cutting. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live'
and could give the operator an electric shock.
f ) When ripping, always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre,
causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
[Kickback causes and related warnings]
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator;
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and
jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
