- 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 toward the operator.
KICKBACK IS THE RESULT OF
SAW MISUSE AND/OR INCORRECT
OPERATING PROCEDURES OR
CONDITIONS AND CAN BE AVOIDED
BY TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS
GIVEN BELOW.
1. Maintain a firm grip with both hands
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.
2. 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
10 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.
3. When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, centre 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.
4. Support large panels to minimise 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.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade
Circular saw
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
7 . Use extra caution when making a
"plunge cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR CIRCULAR
SAW WITH LOWER GUARD
1. Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the
saw if lower guard does not move
freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracting handle
and make sure it moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
2. Check the operation of the lower
guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due
to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
3. Lower guard may be retracted
manually only for special cuts such
as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting
handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
4. Always observe that the lower 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.
