CHECKING BLADES

Blades become dull over time depending on the material being cut, cut rate, blade speed, and blade material and thickness. Check blades regularly for sharpness as well as scratches, nicks, burrs, and material buildup. Clean, sharpen or replace as needed (see Installing Saw Blades).

DANGER: Sharp blades!

Most injuries caused by knife blades occur when the saw has been turned off. Handle blades with care at all times.

● Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the blade guard is open and when handling blades.

●Always lock out the saw before opening any guards.

●Always wait until the saw blade has stopped completely before opening the saw guard. (approximately five minutes)

CTS Saw are equipped with several safety devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove or disable these devices to sustain production. Operating without these devices can cause severe injury.

●The STOP button activates a circuit that stops the saw.
