To Reduce the Risk of
Kickback
• Keep a firm grip on saw with both hands
at all times.
• Stay alert – exercise control.
• Support long overhanging materials. As
the material is cut and weakens, it will
sag, causing a pinched blade.
• Support large panels as shown (Figure A).
Material supported only at the ends
(Figure B) will lead to blade pinching.
• Avoid sawing overhead. Material can
sag and will pinch blade.

• Insure that the material to be cut is
clamped (Figure C) and solidly supported
and balanced on a strong, stable and
level work surface. Support the work so
that the wide portion of the saw shoe is on
the portion of the material that doesn't fall
after the cut is made. Never hold cut off
piece by hand (Figure D )

• Keep blades sharp and clean.
• Use fence or straight edge guide when
ripping. Be careful as the cut off strip can
sag or twist, closing the cut and pinching
the blade, leading to KICKBACK.
• Don't force tool. Wood variables
such as knots, hardness, toughness,
wetness, pressure treated and freshly
cut green lumber can heavily load the
saw which can lead to stalling. Push the
saw slower when this occurs.
• Don't remove saw from work during a
cut while the blade is moving.
• Allow saw to reach full speed before blade
contacts material to be cut. Starting the
saw with the blade against the work or
pushed forward into cut can lead to stalling
or sudden backward movement of saw.
• Never attempt to lift saw when making
a bevel cut. This leads to blade binding
and stalling.
• Always secure work to prevent
workpiece movement during cut.
• Do not try to force saw back on line if
your cut begins to go off line. This can
cause KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow
blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw
from cut and start a new cut on the line.
• Set depth adjustment of saw such that
one tooth of the blade projects below
the workpiece as shown in (figure F).
• Do not back up a rotating blade in the
cut. Twisting the saw can cause the
back edge of the blade to dig into the
material, climb out of the work and run
back toward the operator.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove
all nails from lumber before cutting.
Safety Instructions - Lasers
(BDECS300 ONLY)
DANGER:
direct eye exposure, serious eye injury
can result.
• Do not use optical tools such as a
telescope or transit to view the laser beam.
• Position the laser so unintentional eye
contact will be avoided.
• Do not operate the laser around children
