b) 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf, causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH INNER PENDULUM GUARDS
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with
the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) 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.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts.”
Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on
bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
