Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: 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.
b) 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 the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work
properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the 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 arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, 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.

Kickback causes and related warnings:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed 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 jammed 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.
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.
Kick back could cause the saw to jump backwards,
but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
