To lessen the chance
of kickback:
1. Keep the blade at the correct
depth setting. The depth
setting should not exceed 1/4
in. below the material being
cut (Fig. 5).
2. Inspect the workpiece for
knots or nails before
cutting. Never saw into a knot
or nail.
3. Make straight cuts. Always
use a straight edge guide
(available separately) when
rip cutting. This helps
prevent twisting of the blade.
4. Use clean, sharp and
properly set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
5. Support the workpiece
properly before beginning
a cut (Fig. 6).
6. Use steady, even pressure
when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
7. Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
8. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced
position so as to resist the kickback forces if kickback should occur.
ѥ
WARNING: To avoid kickback, release the trigger switch immediately if the
blade binds or the saw stalls. Kickback could cause you to lose control of the
saw. Loss of control can lead to serious injury.
