TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK, FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
1. Keep the blade at the correct depth
setting. The depth setting should
not exceed 1/4
"
(6.35 mm) below the
material being cut (fig 5).
2. Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails
before cutting. Never saw into a knot
or nail.
3. Make straight cuts. Always use a
straight edge guide when rip cutting.
This helps prevent twisting of the
blade.
4. Use clean, sharp and properly set
blades. Never make cuts with dull
blades.
5. Support the workpiece properly
before beginning a cut (fig 6).
6. Use steady, even pressure when
making a cut. Never force a cut.
7. Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
8. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced
position so as to resist the forces if kickback should occur.
INTEGRATED RIP AND CROSSCUT RULERS
Marked along the base across the front of the saw is a ruler for measuring
repetitive cuts. It is marked 5 inches to the left of 0° and 1 inch to the right of 0°
in 1/2 inch increments.
