SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DANGER:

auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below

the workpiece.

c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade

teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a

stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade

binding, or loss of control.

e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut

and reduces the chance of blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were

specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.

• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.

• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back

toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback

forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.

Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and

hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of

blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check

that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or

kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow

kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut.

If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

LOWER GUARD SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower

guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard

with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating

properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to

damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”

and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should

operate automatically.

d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on

bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting

whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
