SWITCH ASSEMBLY (FIG. 16)
•
•
To turn saw on and off:
Flip the switch cover (1) upward.
Press the switch I (2) to turn on the saw.
Press the switch paddle (3) to turn off the
saw.
•
•
•
To lock saw:
Flip the switch cover (1) downward.
Holes (4) are provided in the switch for
insertion of a padlock with a removable shank
to lock the saw off.
•
•
When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in
the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it
may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise
binding, stalling and kickback.

Making a cut with incorrect blade depth.
Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.
Twisting the wood while making a cut.
Failing to support the workpiece.
Forcing a cut.
Cutting warped or wet lumber.
Using the wrong blade for the type of cut.
Not following correct operating procedures.
Misusing the saw.
Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls.
Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade.

Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same
side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece.
Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers
into the saw blade.
Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw
blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding
condition and kickback.
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the
workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making
non-through cuts such as rabbets, dado cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The
protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all
portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does
not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped,
knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the
saw blade, binding and kickback.
Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade
could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Fig. 17)
The saw is equipped with an overload switch
(1) to prevent the saw from overload damage.
The saw will stop if the machine is overloaded
by cutting or low voltage. Turn the switch to
the OFF position and allow the motor to cool
down for at least five minutes. Press the
overload switch button to reactivate the
overload switch. After the motor has cooled
down, turn the switch to the ON position. The
saw should now start.

CAUSES OF KICKBACK
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds, causing the workpiece to be kicked
back toward the operator with great force and speed. If your hands are near the saw
blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece and come into contact with the
blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using
precautions to avoid the risks. Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches the
blade in the wood, such as the following:
PRECAUTIONS OF KICKBACK
Kickback can be avoided by taking following proper precautions:
