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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. when restarting a saw in the work-
piece, center the saw blade in the
work piece cut and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may
walk up or kickback from the work-piece as
the saw is restarted.
4. 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.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades can
cause excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
6. 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.
7. 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 INSTRUcTION FOR MINI MULTI-
FUNcTION SAw wITh LOwER GUARD
1. 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 parts, in all
angles and depths of cut.
2. 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
build-up of debris.
3. Assure that the guide plate of the saw
will not shift while performing the
"plunge cut" when the blade bevel
setting is not at 90°. Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick
back.
4. Always observe that the lower guard
is covering the blade before placing
saw down on bench or floor. An
unprotected, rotating blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever
is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes
for blade to stop after ON/OFF switch is
released.
