precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the
blade. Kickback could cause the saw to
jump backwards, but kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the saw motionless
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. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, center the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material. If saw blade is
binding, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels 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 cut and
near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and secure
before making cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if guard
does not move freely and enclose the
blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the
guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw
is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent.
Check to make sure that the guard moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition
of the guard spring. If the guard and the
return spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the
saw will not shift while performing the
"plunge cut" when the blade bevel setting
is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will
cause binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep your body positioned to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the
saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the
saw to jump backwards (see Causes and
Operator Prevention of Kickback and
KICKBACK).
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
• Always make sure nothing
interferes with the movement of the
lower blade guard.
• Accessories must be rated for at
least the speed recommended on
the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Accessory ratings must always be above
tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
• Always make sure the saw is clean
before using.
• Stop using this saw and have it
properly serviced if any unusual noise
or abnormal operation occurs.
• Always be sure all components are
mounted properly and securely before
using tool.
• Always handle the saw blade with
care when mounting or removing it or
when removing the diamond knockout.
• Always wait until the motor has
reached full speed before starting a cut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean and
free of oil and grease. Hold the tool
firmly with both hands when in use.
• Always be alert at all times,
especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Always be
sure of position of your hands relative
to the blade.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may
fall after cutting off. They may be hot,
sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal
injury may result.
• Replace or repair damaged cords.
