Safety When Dry Cutting

Do's

  2. DO ensure that the blade is correct for the material being cut
  3. DO ensure that the arrow on the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the machine spindle
  4. DO ensure that the blade is in balance and running true A blade which is out of balance means increased wear and even possible destruction of the saw. Ensure that the blade is concentric to within 015mm
  5. DO ensure that the machine bearings and spindle are not worn, or blade life will be reduced
  6. DO avoid tilting the blade when cutting
  7. DO only use machines which have an approved safety guard
