d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do
not pull the saw through the workpiece. To
make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it
over the workpiece without cutting. Start the
motor, press the saw head down and push
the saw through the wo Cutting on the
pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to
climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw
the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over th
line of cutting either in

handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of
the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dange
f) Do not reach behind the fence with either
hand closer than 100 mm from either side of
the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or
any other reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw bla
hand may not be obvious and you may be
seriously injured.
g) Inspect your wor

with the outside bowed face toward the
fence. Always make certain that there is no
gap between the w

k) Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support
the workpiece and will not interfere with the
blade or the guarding system. Without turning
the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no
interference or danger of cutting the fen

m) 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 thpiece to shift during the

n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed o

the cut-off piece could get wedged against the
