behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your
hand, leading to serious personal injury. (
Fig. 3
)
Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and
possible kickback. Push the saw forward at a speed so that the blade cuts without
slowing.
16.
Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving knife to work, it
must be thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the blade.
17.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
18.
Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced
after plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can
create kickback.
19.
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is
ineffective in preventing kickback during short cuts.
20.
Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a light interference can slow the
closing rate of a guard.
21.
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber or wood containing
knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease in
blade speed.
22.
Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.
23.
Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
24.
When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so
that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation. The tool is
provided with a front grip and rear handle for two hand operation. Operate with proper
hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away from the work
area.
WARNING
:
It is important to support the
workpiece properly and to hold the saw
firmly to prevent loss of control which could
cause personal injury.
