TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE POWER TOOL READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
DETAILS OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS WITHOUT RIVING KNIFE
CAUTION:
Neglecting the instructions specified in the below warnings about risks and guidelines for safety of
use may cause risks of electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the sow, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less that 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 surfaces 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 starting 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 arbour 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 bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- 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 towards 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 towards the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be 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 cause kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
