WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc., contained in this manual. Failure to
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock,
or serious personal injury. Save operator's manual, and
review frequently for continuing safe operation and for
instructing others who may use this tool.
KICKBACK
See Figure 4.
THE BEST GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK IS TO AVOID
DANGEROUS PRACTICES.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back toward you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback will cause you to lose control of your saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
KICKBACK IS CAUSED BY:
■ Incorrect blade depth setting.
See Figure 4.
■ Sawing into knots or nails in work.
■ Twisting blade while making a cut.
■ Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly
set blade.
■ Incorrectly supporting work.
See Figure 5.
■ Forcing a cut.
■ Cutting warped or wet lumber.
■ Tool misuse or incorrect operating procedures.
TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK:
■ Always keep the correct blade depth setting
–
the correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in.
below the material to be cut.
See Figure 6.
■ Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Never saw into a knot or nail.
■ Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade in
the cut.
■ Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
■ To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly
before beginning a cut. The right way to support large
pieces of work are shown in Figure 7.
■ When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
■ Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
■ Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep
your body in a balanced position so as to resist the
forces of kickback should it occur.
WHEN USING YOUR SAW, ALWAYS STAY ALERT AND
EXERCISE CONTROL. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR SAW
FROM WORKPIECE WHILE THE BLADE IS MOVING.
