open the kerf to release the saw, and 

set it aside. Resolve the problem that 

caused the kick back before resum-

ing work.

When restarting a cut, put the 

17. 

base plate (103) flat on the work 

material, with the Saw Blade (43) 

in the kerf.

 Pull the Blade back from 

the end of the cut, leaving a space 

ahead of the blade. Be sure the blade 

is not binding, and can turn freely in 

the kerf. Firmly grip the tool with both 

hands and squeeze the Trigger (79) 

to restart the tool. Continue with the 

cut.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use.  Re-

peated or long-term exposure to 

vibration may cause temporary or 

permanent physical injury, particularly 

to the hands, arms and shoulders.  To 

reduce the risk of vibration-related 

injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regu-

1. 

larly or for an extended period should 

first be examined by a doctor and 

then have regular medical check-

ups to ensure medical problems are 

not being caused or worsened from 

use.  Pregnant women or people 

who have impaired blood circulation 

to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-

vous system disorders, diabetes, or 

Raynaud’s Disease should not use 

this tool.  If you feel any medical or 

physical symptoms related to vibra-

tion (such as tingling, numbness, and 

white or blue fingers), seek medical 

advice as soon as possible.
Do not smoke during use.  Nico-

2. 

tine reduces the blood supply to the 

hands and fingers, increasing the risk 

of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 

3. 

vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration 

4. 

when there is a choice between dif-

ferent processes.
Include vibration-free periods each 

5. 

day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while 

6. 

still keeping safe control of it).  Let 

the tool do the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool 

7. 

as explained in this manual.  If any 

abnormal vibration occurs, stop use 

immediately.
