2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of the symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life

or damage to the tool in case of non-

observance of the instructions in this

manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Keep bystanders away

Wear ear and eye protection

Wear a dust mask. Working with wood,

metals and other materials may produce

dust that is harmful to health. Do not

work with material containing asbestos

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 workpiece.

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 workpiece.

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

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
