Key Safety Precautions

• Read the entire manual before assembling, maintaining, or operating the product.
• Always keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade.
• Ensure the workpiece is securely supported and never held by hand or between the legs.
• Be aware of and take precautions against kickback, a sudden reaction caused by blade binding or misalignment.
• Use only blades that are sharp, undamaged, and correctly sized for the saw.
• Ensure the lower guard operates freely and covers the blade when not in use.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask.
• For the RCS1600 model, observe specific laser safety guidelines, particularly avoiding direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
