blade binding and kickback. 

• 

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. 

• 

Use extra caution when sawing into 
existing walls or other blind areas.

 The 

protruding blade may cut objects that can 
cause kickback. 

10. 

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. 

11. 

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. 

12. 

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. 

13. 

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. 

14. 

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands. 
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the 
saw.

 If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump 

backwards over your hand, leading to serious 
personal injury.

15. 

Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a 
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.

 

Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of 
accuracy, and possible kickback. 

16. 

Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, 
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing 
knots.

 Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth 

advancement of tool for avoicling overheating the 
blade tips without decrease in blade speed. 

17. 

Do not attempt to remove cut material when 
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before 
grasping cut material.

 CAUTION: Blades coast 

after turn off. 

18. 

Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all 
nails from lumber before cutting. 

19. 

Place the wider portion of the saw base on 
that part of the workpiece which is solidly 
supported, not on the section that will fall off 
when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 1 
illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of 
a board, and Fig. 2 the WRONG way. If the 
workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO 
NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
