Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part 

that is damaged should be carefully checked to 

determine that it will operate properly and perform 

its intended function. Check for alignment of mov

-

ing parts, free running of moving parts, breakage 

of parts, mounting and any other conditions that 

may affect its operation. A guard or other part 

that is damaged should be properly repaired or 

replaced by an authorized service center unless 

otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. 

Have defective switches replaced by an autho

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR 

TOOL

1. 

Wear hearing protection.

2. 

Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order. 

Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check 

operation of lower guard before each use. 

Don’t use if lower guard does not close briskly 

over saw blade.

 

CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may 

be bent, restricting full return.

3. 

Do not use blades which are deformed or 

cracked.

4. 

Do not use blades made of high speed steel.

5. 

Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on 

the saw blade.

6. 

Keep Blades Clean and Sharp. Sharp blades 

minimize stalling and kickback.

7. 

DANGER:

 

Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.

 

Keep hands away from blades. Don’t reach 

underneath work while blade is rotating. Don’t 

attempt to remove cut material when blade is 

moving.

 

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

8. 

Support Large Panels (Fig. 1 & 2). 

Large panels must be supported as shown in 

Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching 

and kickback.

 

When cutting operation requires the resting 

of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be 

rested on the larger portion and the smaller 

piece cut off.

Fig. 1

To avoid kickback, do support board or panel near the cut.

Fig. 2

Do not support board or panel away from the cut.

9. 

Use Rip Fence.

 

Always use a fence or straight edge guide 

when ripping.

10. 

Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)

 

Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly 

and is driven back towards the operator. 

Release switch immediately if blade binds or 

saw stalls.

 

Keep blades sharp. Support large panels as 

shown in Fig. 1.

 

Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. 

Don’t force tool. Stay alert-exercise control.

 

Don’t remove saw from work during a cut while 

the blade is moving.

 

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the 

saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily 

jump backwards over your hand, possibly 

causing severe injury.
