5) SERVICE
a) Have your
power
tool serviced
by a qualified
repair
person
using only identical
replacement
parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety
Instructions
for All Saws
DANGER:
a) Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary
handle or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
b) Do not reach underneath
the workpiece.
The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the workplace.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workplace.
d) Never
hold piece
being
cut in your
hands
or across
your
leg. Secure the workpiece
to a stable platform.
It
is important
to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power
tool by insulated
gripping
surfaces
when
performing
an operation
where
the cutting
tool
may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping
always
use a rip fence or straight
edge
guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting
hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged
or incorrect
blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your
saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
* Kickback
is a sudden
reaction
to a pinched,
bound
or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up
and out of the workplace toward the operator.
*
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator.
* 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:
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 kerr and check that saw teeth are not engaged
