PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR

CIRCULAR SAWS

■ 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.

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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 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.

■ Do not use dull or damaged blades. 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.

Safety instructions for saws with lower guard

■ 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 build-up debris.

■ 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.

■ 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

■ 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.
