a) 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.
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, centre the saw
blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) 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.
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 the 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 the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the saw if the guard does not move freely and enclose
the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the
blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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 return
spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. The guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while
performing a "plunge cut". Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before
placing the 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.
e) Keep the blade guard area free of accumulated sawdust and
debris. Saw may operate sluggishly due to a build-up of debris
which could result in possible serious injury. Wear appropriate PPE
while clearing out the blade guard area using compressed air.
Riving knife function
a) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the
riving knife to function, the body of the blade must be thinner than
the riving knife and the cutting width of the blade must be wider than
the thickness of the riving knife.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the
riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
c) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback
during short cuts.
d) Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent. Even a light
interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
