4. Safety instructions for mitre
saws
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.
If your hand is placed too
close to the saw blade, there is an
increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
Unrestrained or mov-
ing workpieces could be thrown at high
speeds, causing injury.
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.
Supporting
the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. hold-
ing the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dangerous.
