English
against the work or pushed forward into cut can lead to
stalling or sudden backward movement of saw.
• Never attempt to lift saw when making a bevel cut. This
leads to blade binding and stalling.
• Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement
during cut.
• Do not try to force saw back on line if your cut begins to
go off line. This can cause KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow
blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw from cut and
start a new cut on the line.
• Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth of the
blade projects below the workpiece.
• Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut. Twisting the
saw can cause the back edge of the blade to dig into the
material, climb out of the work and run back toward
the operator.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from
lumber before cutting.
