This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond

mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, 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.

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 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.

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
