material.
If saw blade is binding,
it may walk
up or kickback from the workpiece
as the saw
is restarted.
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.
Do
not
use
dull
or
damaged
blade.
Unsharpened
or improperly
set
blades
produce narrow kerr causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
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.
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.
The blade
washers
and the bolt on your
saw
have
been
designed
to work
as a
clutch to reduce the intensity of a kickback.
Understand
the operation
and settings
of
the VARI-TORQUE
CLUTCH.
The proper
setting of the clutch, combined with firm handling
of the saw will allow you to control kickback.
Never
place
your
hand
behind
the saw
blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards
over your hand.
Do not
use
the
saw
with
an excessive
depth
of cut
setting.
Too
much
blade
exposure
increases
the likelihood
of the blade
twisting
in the kerr and increases
the surface
area of the blade available
for pinching
that
leads to kickback.
Lower guard function
Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate 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
only with
the
Lower
Guard
Lift
Lever
and make
sure
it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
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 buildup of debris.
Lower
guard
should
be retracted
manually
only
for
special
cuts
such
as "Plunge
Cuts"
and "Compound
Cuts".
Raise
lower
guard
by lower guard
Lift lever and as soon
as blade
enters
the material,
lower
guard
must be released.
For all other sawing,
the
lower guard should operate automatically.
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.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your
side. Lower guard may be opened by a
contact
with your clothing.
Accidental
contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
Periodically
remove the blade, clean the
upper, lower guards and the hub area with
kerosene and wipe it dry, or blow it clean
with compressed air. Preventive maintenance
and properly operating guard will reduce the
probability of an accident.

Some
dust
created
by
power sanding,
sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities
contains chemicals known to
cause
cancer,
birth defects
or other
reproductive
harm.
Some examples
of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based
paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic
and chromium
from
chemically-
treated lumber.
Your
risk
from
these
exposures
varies,
depending
on how often you do this type of
work.
To reduce
your
exposure
to these
chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and
work with approved
safety equipment,
such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed
to filter out microscopic
particles.
