c) If you want to restart a saw that is still in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the cut
and check to ensure that the teeth are not
caught anywhere in the workpiece.
If the saw
blade catches it can jump out of the workpiece
or cause a kickback when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels or boards to reduce the
risk of the saw blade jamming and causing
a kickback.
Large panels tend to bend under
their own weight. Panels must be supported on
both sides, in the vicinity of the saw cut and
also at the edge.
e)
Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth may
cause excessive friction as the saw cut is too
narrow, and this can cause a saw blade jam
and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making
cut.
If the settings change while sawing, the
saw blade might jam and cause a kickback.
g) Be particularly careful when sawing in
existing walls or other obscured areas.
The
inserted saw blade could get caught on hidden
objects and cause a kickback.
Function of the blade guard
a) Before every use, check to ensure that the
blade guard closes properly. Do not use the
saw if the blade guard does not move freely
and does not close immediately. Never clamp
or tie the blade guard into the open position.
If the saw accidentally falls to the floor, the
blade guard might bend. Ensure that the blade
guard moves freely and does not touch the saw
blade or other parts at all cutting angles or
depths.
b) Check the operation of the blade guard spring
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, have the appliance serviced before
using it.
Damaged parts, sticky deposits or
accumulations of chippings can cause the blade
guard to operate slowly.
c) When making a "plunge cut" which is not at
right angles, secure the saw base plate to
prevent any lateral movement.
Lateral move-
ment can cause the saw blade to jam, thus
causing a kickback.
d) Do not leave the saw on the work bench or
floor if the blade guard is not fully covering
the saw blade.
An unprotected, coasting saw
blade will move the saw in the opposite direc-
tion to the cutting direction and saw anything
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the
blade to stop after switch is released.
Supplementary notes
■ Do not use any grinding discs.
■ Use only saw blades with diameters corres-
ponding to the label on the saw.
