Instruction & User Manual
m
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.
m
When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, centre 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.
m
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.
m
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
m
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.
m
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.
m
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
m
Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform.
Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
The above warning is not applicable for
garden saws for tree or hedge services.
