Safety instructions for all saws
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 piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform.
It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, 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 ac-
curacy 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 eccentrically, caus-
ing 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 opti-
mum performance and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
▯
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-
piece toward the operator;
▯
when the blade is pinched or bound 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 incor-
rect 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.
Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kick-
back forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
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,
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.
