RULES FOR THE MINI CIRCULAR SAW
7
REDUCING KICKBACK
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 towards the operator. Take the proper precautions below
to reduce the risk of kickback.
• Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When a blade is binding (or when interrupting a cut for any reason), release the trigger and hold the saw motion-
less 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.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the blade in the kerf and check that the teeth are not engaged
into the material. If the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the work piece as the saw is restarted.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the causes of blade binding.
• Support large workpieces to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of the cut and near the edge
of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf, causing exces-
sive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If the blade adjust-
ment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and kickback.
LASER SAFETY
ATTENTION: LASER RADIATION. CLASS 2 LASER. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM.
1. Do not look directly into the laser beam with unprotected eyes. Never look into the path of the beam.
2. Never point the laser beam towards reflecting surfaces. Never point the laser towards people or animals. Even a
laser beam with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
3. Never open the laser module as unexpected exposure to the beam can occur. The laser cannot be replaced with
a different type of laser.
4. Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorized representative.
BATTERY SAFETY
1. Do not short-circuit batteries. Keep the batteries away from metal objects when not in use.
2. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. Replace an entire set of batteries at the same time.
4. Do not keep batteries near fire, ovens or other sources of heat. Do not use batteries in direct sunlight.
5. Remove batteries from the equipment when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
6. Never handle batteries that have leaked without appropriate protection. If the leaked fluid comes into contact
with your skin, the skin in this area should be rinsed off under running water immediately. Always prevent the fluid
from coming into contact with the eyes and mouth. In the event of contact, please seek immediate medical attention.
7. Do not dismantle batteries. Dispose of used batteries properly at your local collection/recycling facility.
