c. Not supporting the workpiece securely.
d. Cutting warped or wet timber.
e. Forcing the saw through the cut.
f. Failure to fit the saw blade correctly.
g. Using the wrong saw blade.
To reduce the possibility of kickback occurring, always maintain a firm grip on
the saw and position yourself to resist kickback forces. Using a fence or
straight edge guide will improve accuracy and reduce the chance of
binding and kickback.
If a cut is to be interrupted, release the switch to stop the saw but do not
remove it from the workpiece. Investigate the cause of binding or kickback
before continuing.
When re-starting, ensure that the saw is in the centre of the cut line and
check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If the saw is
binding in this way, it may kick back or try to climb out of the workpiece when
being restarted.
Always stop cutting if the saw becomes hot, and investigate the cause
before continuing.
USING A FENCE OR GUIDE
MARKING OUT
1. Before beginning work, draw a
guide line along the desired line
of cut.
A low profile cutting guide can be
used, suitably positioned
approximately 67mm to the left of
the cut line (assuming that the
‘waste side’ is to the right). This will
allow the left-hand edge of the sole
plate to run against the guides’
straight edge and so ensure a
straight cut at the required position
(as shown in Fig 2).
The height of the guide should not exceed 15mm, to allow sufficient
clearance below the motor housing.
IMPORTANT! When marking your guideline, you must take into account the
thickness of the saw blade. This must be added to your desired width.
Always test on a scrap piece of material first to determine how much, if any,
the guideline must be offset to produce your desired width.
