a.

 

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist 

kickback forces.

 Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. 

Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by 

the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b. 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.

c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check 
that saw 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.

d. Support large panels to minimise 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.

e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce 
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f. 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.
g) 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.

Safety instructions for saws 

a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.

 Do not operate the 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 with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not 

touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) 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 build-up of debris.

c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge 
cuts” and “compound cuts.”

 Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as 

blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the 

lower guard should operate automatically.

d) 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.
