Specific Safety

1.

DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not

with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See

"Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback")

Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the

blade below the work. Don't attempt to remove cut material when blade is

moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

2.

Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate 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,

and depths of cut.

3.

Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring.
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.

4.

Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as

"Pocket Cuts" and "Compound Cuts." Raise lower guard by Retracting

Handle. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be released.

For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

5.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing

saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade

7.

8.

When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves

the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.

Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor

Causes and Operator Prevention

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out
opera tor.

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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm
that allows you to resist
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

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
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
