1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
** Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and potential
hazards of the saw.
DO NOT let familiarity gained from frequent use of the saw allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
DANGER! Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting to the power source, picking up or carrying the
saw.
** Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
the saw.
WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power before changing
accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
The machine must only be serviced by a qualified person or service
agent. Contact your Sealey stockist for information.
Select a work area suitable for the saw and keep the area clean, tidy
and free from unrelated materials. Ensure that there is adequate lighting.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact.
Concentrations of small dust particles in the air can form an explosive
mixture. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the saw is
attached to a dust-extraction unit.
Maintain the saw in good condition, check moving parts alignment
regularly. Keep saw blades clean and sharp. ,
** Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good
working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.
** A guard, or any other part, that is damaged should be repaired or
replaced before the saw is next used. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting
where the saw is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
Before commencing work, ensure the saw blade is set to cut in the
correct direction, securely fastened, sharp and is compatible with the
machine, spindle speed and the material to be cut. Never use a saw blade if
damaged, bent or warped.
Use only recommended saw blades.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and the vicinity
before switching on.
Machine operators must have received sufficient training and
instructions relating to the dangers associated with the machine, the
precautions to be observed and the requirements of the Wood Working Machines
Regulations.
Operators must be under the adequate supervision of a person who has a
thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the appropriate
regulations.
DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are damaged or missing as this may
cause failure and/or personal injury.
DO NOT operate the saw when you are tired or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
** When not in use switch off the saw and unplug from the power supply. ,
WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders and, if dust
is generated, respiratory protection.
** Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose
jewellery and contain long hair.
** Keep hands and body clear of the blade when operating the saw.
DO NOT overreach. Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor
is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
** Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
DO NOT leave the saw operating unattended.
DO NOT force the saw. Use the correct blade for your application.
DO NOT use the saw for a task it is not designed to perform and ensure
operators are trained to use the saw.
DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where
there is condensation.
DO NOT use the saw in explosive atmospheres, where there are flammable
liquids, dust, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste
cleaning rags etc.
**** When not in use clean the unit and store the saw in it’s original
packaging in a safe, dry, childproof location.
1.3. SPECIFIC SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use the saw, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot
be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf
insert and other plastic parts.
DO NOT use the saw if the switch does not turn in ON or OFF.
** Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either
side of the saw blade. DO NOT use this saw to cut pieces that are too
small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close
to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
** The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the
fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
“freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at
high speeds, causing injury.
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 out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push
the saw through the workpiece. 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.
Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front
or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “crosshanded” i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa
is very dangerous.
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 for any other reason
while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your
hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
** Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or
warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make
certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the
line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause
binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
DO NOT use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps,
etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other
objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
** Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be
adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface
before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
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 fence.
Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for
a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely
supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard
or be thrown by the spinning blade.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the
spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round
material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This
will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait
for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source.
Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed
workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and
wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing
the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking
action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
Before making a cut make sure the depth, bevel and mitre adjustments are
tight.
Use correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never
use blade washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect.
Refer to unit specification for maximum blade capacity etc.
Inspect and remove all nails from timber before cutting.
Never touch the blade or moving parts during use.
Never start the saw when the blade is in contact with the workpiece.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION DO NOT stare into beam. Only turn laser beam
on when tool is on work piece.
