SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ALL SAWS
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 saw, 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 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 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
bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

SAWS
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;
