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.
Never use any abrasive wheels
Burst of abrasive wheel cause serious injury of
operator or persons around the working area.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL SAWS
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 firm 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, centre
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH
INNER PENDULUM GUARD
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 depth
of cut.
Model CD7SA is not provided with retracting
handle, unplug saw and use lower guard to
determine if it moves freely.
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 build-up 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.
Model CD7SA is not designed or intended to
perform "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts".
d)
Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor.
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.
