SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
(continued)
6
- DANGER! — Keep hands and body away from and to the side of the blade. Contact with blade will
result in serious injury.
- WARNING! — To reduce the risk of injury, check lower guard. It must close instantly! Keep free hand
away from blade at all times during operation. Support and clamp work. Wear eye and hearing
protection.
Additional Specific Safety Rules:
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and 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.
•
Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK
could cause the material to jump backwards. (See "Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback.")
•
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the blade below the work.
•
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate 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 and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, at all angles and depths of cut.
•
Check the operation and condition 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 buildup of debris.
•
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to cut whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it
takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
•
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
•
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
•
Always use blades with correct size and shape arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
•
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washer or bolts. The blade washer and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
•
Always clamp workpiece in vise and check security of vise bolts and position often. Vise can loosen
due to vibration.
