SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Damage to your eyes and ears could result from using this machine without proper pro- tective gear. Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when operating this machine.
The Model G0560 is operated by an ON/OFF paddle switch that is clearly labeled on the side of the stand.
This switch is locked out when the key is removed to protect against accidental operation (Figure 31).
Figure 31. Switch lock out.
Blade Guard
Figure 32 shows the blade guard controls. The blade guard protects the operator from accidental contact with the part of the blade that is not being used.
The star knob on the guide rail allows you to raise and lower the blade guard and blade guide assembly. Keep the blade guide assembly within an inch of the material you are cutting. This will provide adequate support for the blade where the pressure is greatest. This adjustment is crucial for safe operation when cutting through bone!
