When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into
the top surface of the wood causing the blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump back toward operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position
your body to either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is
in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. if saw blade is binding,
it may walk up or kick back from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce a narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must
be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING LOWER
GUARD
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard in the open position. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the blade guard lever and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”. Raise lower guard by blade guard lever. As
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing tasks, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop
after the switch is released.
WARNINGS
Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains
switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified
on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage
to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor. Your tool is double
insulated for additional protection against a possible
electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blade.
When operating the saw, use safety equipment
including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust
mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.
Do not use this saw to cut firewood.
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate
this saw.
Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Only use
sharp blades.
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent
the work piece from turning on both sides of the
blade.
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or
waste close by the blade.
Use only blades as recommended.
Do not use blades of High Speed Steel (HSS blades)
Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
