SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR ALL SAWS

CUTTING PROCEDURES

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from

cutting area and the blade. 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.

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 arm 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.
