operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris.
c ) The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plungecuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by
the retracting handle and as soon as the blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing,the lower guard should
operate automatically.
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. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

To reduce the risk of kickback
•
Keep a firm grip on saw at all times.
•
Stay alert – exercise control.
•
Support long overhanging materials. As the material
is cut and weakens, it will sag, causing a pinched blade.
•
Support large panels as shown (Fig. B). Material
supported only at the ends (Fig. C) will lead to blade
pinching.

•
Avoid sawing overhead. Material can sag and will
pinch blade.
•
Insure that the material to be cut is clamped
(Figure D) and solidly supported and balanced on
a strong, stable and level work surface. Support the
work so that the wide portion of the saw shoe is on the
portion of the material that doesn't fall after the cut is
made. Never hold cut off piece by hand (Figure E

Keep blades sharp and clean.

•
Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Be
careful as the cut off strip can sag or twist, closing the cut
and pinching the blade, leading to KICKBACK.
