SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
DANGER:
To prevent serious injury or death the below instructions must be
followed.
a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
a) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
Kickback causes and related warnings:
Causes of Kickback:
−
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
−
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
the operator.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury the below instructions must be followed.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) 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 the operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
