The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Causes and prevention of kickback:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an
uncontrolled wood stock to lift up and out of the Log Saw toward the operator. When the
Saw Blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the tool rapidly back toward the operator. If the Saw Blade becomes
twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the Saw Blade can raise the
work piece (walk-up), and eject it towards the operator. Kickback is a result of appliance
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
- Maintain control of the wood stock at all times. Never allow the wood stock to rest on the
moving Saw Blade without holding on to it.
-
When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, the clutch op-
eration lever of the tractor must be in the neutral and hold the wood stock motionless on
the Log Saw until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
wood stock from the Log Saw or pull the wood stock backward while the Saw Blade is in
motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of Saw Blade binding.
- When restarting a wood stock on the Wood Saw, center the Saw Blade in the pre-cut kerf
and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the wood stock.
- Support large wood stocks to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and kickback.
Large wood stocks tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the wood stock and near the outer edge of the wood stock.
-
Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set Saw Blades
produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade binding and kickback.
-
Never rip a wood stock that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the Rip Fence.
- Push the wood stock past the Saw Blade prior to release.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This machine vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
- Anyone using vibrating machine regularly or for an extended period should first be exam-
ined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems
are being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired
blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this machine. If you feel any medical or physical symp-
toms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
-
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
- Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
- Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
-
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
