1. KNOW YOUR TOOL
Read and understand the instruction manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as its specific potential hazards.
2. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area
well lit and provide adequate surrounding work space.
3. USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force the tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
4. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, watch) because they could
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.
5. MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE.
Keep tool clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for operation and
changing accessories.
6. DISCONNECT TOOLS.
Before servicing, when changing accessories or attachments.
7. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Make sure the switch is in the ‘’OFF’’ position before plugging in.
8. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the manual for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that
accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
9. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other parts that are damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure they will operate properly and perform their intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts which are damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
Specific Safety Instructions
1. If possible, use clamps
or any other practical way to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
2. Do not use the tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Do not allow the power cord to contact the rotating accessory as the cord may
become quickly tangled. If this happens, turn the tool off immediately, unplug from the
power source and untangle the power cord.
4. Remove arbor key before turning the power tool on. Personal injury will result if the
power tool is turned on with the arbor key installed on the arbor bolt.
5. Hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
cutting tools may contact hidden “live” wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator
.
6. Do not abuse the power cord. Do not use it to carry, pull or unplug the tool from the
power source. Keep power cord away from heat, oil, moving parts and sharp edges.
A
damaged power cord will increase the risk of electric shock.
GENERAL & SPECIFIC
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DOUBLE CUT SAW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Always keep your second hand on the control handle or motor housing. With both hands
holding the saw this way, they cannot be cut by the blades. Keep your body positioned
to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade.
2. Do not attempt to remove cut material while the blade is moving. Always check the lower
guard is properly closed before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the guard handle lever and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles.
3.The lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits or a
build up of debris. Disconnect the plug from the power source. Periodically remove the
blades, clean the upper and lower guards and the hub area with kerosene and wipe it
dry, or blow it clean with compressed air.
4. The lower guard should be retracted manually only for making special cut such as
“pocket cuts” and “compound cuts”. Always raise the lower guard using the lower guard
handle lever. As soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released
for all other sawing. The lower guard should operate automatically.
5. Always make sure that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw
down on the bench or floor. Left unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to jump,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after its
switch is released.
6. Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to
support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade jamming, or loss of control.
7. Do not use any other blades than the King Canada blades specially designed for this
tool. Never use blades that do not match the mounting hardware.
8. Never attempt to operate the saw with only one blade. Kickback will occur and send the
saw towards you resulting in serious injury.
Causes and Operator Prevention from Kickback
1. 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.
2. When the blade is pinched or bound tighly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly out of the workpiece.
3. If a 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 workpiece causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf.
4. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator
, if
proper precautions are taken.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blades 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.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
