5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, 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 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 eccentrically, causing loss of control.

8. 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.

Kickback causes and related warnings

– 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 opera-

tor;

– 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 oper-

ator;

– 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 oper-

ator.

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.

9. 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.

10. 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 kick-

back may occur. Investigate and take corrective

actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf caus-

ing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

14. 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.

15. Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

16. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the

saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump

backwards over your hand, leading to serious per-

sonal injury.

17. 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.

To avoid kickback, do support board or

panel near the cut.

Do not support board or panel away from the

cut.
