■
d)
Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels
or boards can bend under their own weight.
Panels/boards must be supported on both
sides: i.e. both 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 if the saw cut is too
narrow, and this can cause a saw blade jam
and kickback.
f)
Before sawing, ensure that the fastenings for
the cut depth and cut angle settings are tight-
ened.
If the settings change while sawing, the
saw blade can 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.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
with a splitting wedge
Function of the splitting wedge
a)
Use the appropriate saw blade for the splitting
wedge.
For the splitting wedge to work, the
saw blade's main blade must be thinner than
the splitting wedge and the tooth width must be
more than the splitting wedge thickness.
b)
Adjust the splitting wedge as described in
these operating instructions.
Incorrect spacing,
position and alignment can be the reason why
the splitting wedge does not effectively prevent
a kickback.
d)
The splitting wedge must be positioned in the
sawing gap before it will work.
For short cuts,
the splitting wedge is ineffective in preventing
kickback.
e)
Do not operate the saw with a bent splitting
wedge.
Even a minor fault can slow down the
closing of the blade guard.
