optimum performance and safety of operation.

Further Safety Instructions for All

Saws

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

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 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 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.

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 cut. If blade adjustment shifts while

cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

g) 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 Instructions for Saws with a

Pendulum Blade Guard

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) Lower guard should 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.

d) 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.

Additional Safety Instructions for All

Saws with Riving Knife

a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the

blade being used. For the riving knife to work,

it must be thicker than the body of the blade

but thinner than the tooth set of the blade.
