for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) Support any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
CHOPSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the
wheel. The wheel should also be inspected whenever
you think the tool may have been dropped. Flaws may
cause wheel breakage.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement
wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the
wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it
run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack
or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute. Never start
the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes
the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it
rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool andinspect
the wheel for cracks or flaws.

• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO
CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring,
bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and
shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing
these clamps and make a dry run before making a cut.
