Kickback refers to the sudden, forceful movement of the
tool away from the workpiece that can cause the operator
to lose control or even cause injury. It is usually caused
when the disc gets stuck in the workpiece or by poor
operation. To avoid this, the following precautions should
be taken:
• Use discs in good condition and make sure they are
properly installed. Poorly installed, damaged, dull or worn
discs tend to jam in the material causing kickback.
• When operating the tool, hold it firmly with one hand
on the handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle.
Always use both hands. Keep your body well balanced
and in a stable position with both feet on the ground to
resist the force of possible kickback.
• To make a cut, align the disc with the cutting line and
wait for the disc to reach full speed before starting to cut.
Do not start the tool with the cutting teeth resting on the
workpiece, this could cause kickback.
• To restart work within a cut, center the disc in the cut
and check that the teeth are not buried in the material.
• If you notice the disc bending or cutting stops during
tool operation, release the switch and hold the tool inside
the workpiece until the disc comes to a complete stop. Do
not attempt to remove the disc while it is still moving, it
could cause kickback.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
causes of the disc digging in.
• To minimize the risk of the disc binding and causing
kickback, remove all nails before cutting a piece of wood.
Wet, warped or pressure-treated lumber requires special
Caution during cutting. When cutting large planks, use
supports near both sides of the cutting line to prevent the
weight of the material itself from bending the plank and
closing the cut and trapping the disc. The gum and resin
from the wood that hardens on the cutting discs slows down
the saw. Use gum and resin remover, hot water or kerosene
to remove these buildups. DO NOT use gasoline.
• Be very careful when making a pocket cut in walls or
blind places. The disc may contact hidden objects and
cause kickback.
• While operating the tool, do not place your hand or body
in line with the cutting axis, as the possibility of serious
injury exists if kickback occurs.
• Before starting any cut, the depth of cut and bevel
adjustment knobs must be tightened and secured. If they
move during the cut, they can cause the disc to bend and
kickback may occur. Excessive depth of cut position
increases the load on the unit and the possibility of
bending the disc within the cut.

Kickback
• Use only Truper Max chargers to charge
the tool battery. Using any other charger may result in fire
or risk of injury.
• Use only batteries specifically designed
for the tool. Other batteries may create a risk of injury or
fire.
• Connect the charger to an alternating current (AC) supply
only.
• Do not use the charger outdoors.
• Observe the “+/-” polarity when charging.
• Never recharge a leaking battery.
• Do not use batteries or the charger for purposes other
than those for which they were designed.
• Do not modify the battery or charger contacts.
• Do not expose the battery pack or the tool to fire or
extreme temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperatures
above 130 °C can cause an explosion.
• Never expose batteries to the fire, they
may explode.
• Batteries should be kept away from any
metallic object such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or any other object that could cause the terminals
to make contact, and would cause a short circuit that could
cause burns or fires.
• Under extreme conditions, the battery
liquid may leak. If so, avoid any contact. If accidental
contact occurs, wash with abundant water, rinse with
lemon juice and vinegar. If the liquid enters in contact with
the eyes, wash with abundant water during several minutes
and look for medical help immediately. The liquid expelled
from the batteries could cause irradiation or burns.
• To maximize battery life, fully discharge
the battery at least once a month. Do not leave the battery
without recharging for more than three months. Always
charge the battery to its maximum capacity. Before using
the machine for the first time, charge the battery to its
maximum capacity.
• Avoid stopping constantly while cutting to prevent
damage to the battery.
