MOVING PARTS HAZARDS
Moving parts can cause serious injury. Avoid con
-
tacting these parts when they are still in rotation/
stroke and make sure that you keep anything that
could be trapped in the operating machine, such
as loose hair and clothing, away. Keep your hands
away from the machining area when operating
the machine. Do not touch the moving parts befo
-
re they come in complete stop.
Work pieces and tools can ricochet and lead to in
-
jury and property damage. Make sure that the ma
-
chine and tools are always in good condition. Use
clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly in
position. Do not work on items that are too small
to securely clamp in place.
Check for correct alignment of moving and rota
-
ting parts or other failures that could be a source
of danger. A damaged guard or other part should
be replaced by an authorized service center befo
-
re operating the machine.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main
-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to fail and are easier to control. Use the
machine, accessories and cutting tools in accor
-
dance with these instructions, taking into account
the environment conditions and the work to be
performed.
Keep hands away from cutting area and the bla
-
de. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or
motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the work piece. The gu
-
ard cannot protect you from the blade below the
work piece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade tee
-
th should be visible below the work piece.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the work piece to a stable plat
-
form. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss
of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfa-
ces 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.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (di
-
amond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
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.
Kickback causes and related warnings:
f
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the
operator.
f
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.
f
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. Kickback is the result of saw
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
f
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.
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 co
-
mes 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 elimina
-
te the cause of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in the work piece, center
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 work
piece 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 blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and kic
-
kback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If bla
-
de adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
NOISE AND VIBRATION HAZARDS
The noise levels shown in these instructions are
the maximum levels for use of the machine. In
-
sufficient maintenance has a significant impact
on vibration and noise emissions. Consequently,
it is necessary to take preventive steps to elimi
-
nate possible damage due to high levels of noise
and stress from vibration. Maintain the machine
well, wear ear protection devices, anti-vibration
gloves and take breaks while working. Operating
the machine with a stable speed and griping the
handle firmly with suitable force can decrease the
vibration level. Low engine speed means low-noi
-
se level, so operate the machine at the lowest
engine speed necessary to accomplish the task.
During a working day, you shall take frequent and
adequate breaks to prevent damage from vibra
