carried out (at each time of usage) before the operator uses the
machine.
WARNING: These pre-use safety checks should be
carried out with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
• Check that all safety guards are operating correctly, and
that all adjustment handles/screws are securely tightened.
• Check that the blade is secure and installed correctly. Also
check that it is the correct blade for the material being cut.
• Check the integrity of the power cord.
• Whenever possible clamp the workpiece to a rigid support
structure such as a workbench, saw horse or similar.
• The operator should always be aware of the position and
routing of the power cable.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

The operator should wear all relevant PPE (Personal Protection
Equipment) necessary for the task ahead. This could include
safety glasses, full face mask, dust masks, safety shoes etc.
The Upper Blade Guard, is specially shaped to deflect most of
the cut debris downwards and away from the operator into
the detachable chip collector. Such debris may be hot and/or
sharp. The operator should employ due care when clearing such
material from the workpiece after a cut has been completed.
Note: Depending upon the material being cut some debris may
also lodge inside the blade guard. Any such material should be
removed during routine machine maintenance or during a blade
change. Dispose of any collected debris in an environmentally
responsible way.
THE BLADE VIEWING WINDOW
A toughened glass blade viewing window, (9), is located to the
front left hand side of the upper blade guard near where the
blade will emerge from a cut. (Fig.13), This allows the operator
to monitor the progress of a cut, whilst providing protection
from any ejected material.
Note: This glass window should be cleaned as required to ensure
a clear and unobstructed view of the cut line.
WARNING: Any dust and debris created is potentially
harmful to health. Some materials can be particularly
harmful, and the operator should always wear a dust mask which
is suitable for the material being worked with.
Professional help and advice should be sought if the operator is
at all unsure about the potential toxicity of the material to be cut.
