c)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
d)
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
e)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
f)
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
g)
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
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
Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
●
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncon-
trolled 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, center 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 sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower Guard Safety Instructions
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
