INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL

SAWS

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 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 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, center 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 minimize 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 sawing into

existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR SAWS WITH INNER

PENDULUM GUARD

Lower Guard Function

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 may 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
