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.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and
check that 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.
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. Dull blades produce a narrow
kerf 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 only recommended blades, rated
at the machine's maximum rated RPM
or higher with correct arbor hole.
Guard function
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate the saw if guard does not move freely
and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or
tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw is
accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check
to make sure that guard moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
Check the operation and condition of
the guard return spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before
use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard may be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "plunge cuts". Raise
lower guard by projecting portion and as soon
as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the 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.
Tighten blade retaining bolt and all clamps before
operating.
Secure workpiece properly. Workpiece should
be straight and firmly clamped to avoid possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion.
Allow the blade to come to a
complete stop before removing or
securing workpiece, or changing
workpiece angle.
Check the inside surfaces of the arbor flanges as
well as the sides of the blade for freedom from any
foreign matter.
Check the blade for cracks or other damage before
operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade
immediately.
Never start the tool with the workpiece against the
blade.
Allow the motor to achieve full speed before
cutting.
Important: After completing the cut, release
power switch and wait for coasting blade to stop
completely before putting the saw down.
Never operate the tool in an area with flammable
solids, liquids, or gases.
commutator/carbon brushes could cause a fire or
explosion.
