SAFETY

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all in-

structions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re

and/or serious injury.

DANGER

• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade;

keep your second hand on front handle (if both hands

are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the blade)

• Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the guard

cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece)

• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the

workpiece (less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should

be visible below the workpiece)

• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across

your leg (it is important to support the work properly

to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of

control)

• Hold 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 tool

“live” and shock the operator)

• When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide (this improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance for blade binding)

• Always use blades with correct size and shape

of arbor holes (diamond or round) (blades that do

not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run

eccentrically, causing loss of control)

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or

bolts (the blade washers and bolt were specially designed

for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of

operation)

KICKBACK-CAUSES

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift

up and out of the workpiece 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 towards operator

KICKBACK - OPERATOR PREVENTION

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below

• Maintain a ﬁ rm 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)

• 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 backwards while the blade is

in motion or kickback may occur (investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding;

avoid cutting nails or screws)

• 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)

• 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)

• Do not use a dull or damaged blade (unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding and kickback)

• 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)

• 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)

WARNING

• 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

• 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
