Line 35:
* Inspect the blade, it doesn't need to be perfect but if you more than 2 or 3 chipped/missing teeth are visible then the blade needs to be replaced, contact the mailing list to arrange for this. If the blade has any sort of crack or warp to it at all, then it MUST NOT BE USED.
* Ensure the machine is switched off prior to all adjustments, and ensure that all locks are in place prior to switching on, power is supplied from the yellow site transformer next to the bench.
* To adjust the mitre, release the locking cam using the lever on the left, being sure to lock it again before cutting. These angles are fairly
|| Getting the saw properly set up at the start is essential for safety and will make later adjustment easier

Line 48:
* Clamp the material tightly in the vice, freehand cutting of any sort is NOT ALLOWED.
* If you cannot hold the material securely in the vice, you cannot cut it with this tool. Perhaps consider the an angle grinder or [[Tools/bandsaw|bandsaw]] instead.
* Only cut one piece at a time, never stack material as the thinnest section (even if only thinner by a tiny fraction of a millimetre... no material is THAT consistent) will not be held securely
* The work should ideally be positioned so that only 1-3 teeth engage with the work at any time, if you have to position the work so that more teeth than that are engaged then it will make the cut much harder work and increase blade wear dramatically.
