Cutting procedures

DANGER: 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.

2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The

guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe

workpiece.

3. 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.

4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or

across your leg while cutting. Secure the

workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to

supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo-

sure, blade binding, or loss of control.

►Fig.1

5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give

the operator an electric shock.

6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or

straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy

of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. 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 off-centre, causing loss of

control.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-

ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were

speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum

performanceandsafetyofoperation.

Kickback causes and related warnings

— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

jammed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jammed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.

1. Maintain a 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.

2. 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.

3. 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work-

piece as the saw is restarted.

4. 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.

5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpenedorimproperlysetbladesproduce

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade

binding and kickback.

6. 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.

7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

maycutobjectsthatcancausekickback.

8. ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your

body under the tool base or behind the saw,

especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback

occurs,thesawcouldeasilyjumpbackwardsover

yourhand,leadingtoseriouspersonalinjury.

►Fig.4

9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a

speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.

Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of

accuracy,andpossiblekickback.
