ERBAUER 210MM (8-1/4”) SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW
d. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before
making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for saws
a. Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, the lower
guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
The lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c. Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge
cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise the lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
