1. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn.
2. NEVER wear gloves during operation except for
replacing saw blades or handling rough material
before operation.
3. Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.

Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/
wobbling or slippage of the blade. Use only
flanges specified for this tool.
