a) 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.
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, 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 workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) 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.
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 the 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 (Circular saw with inner pendulum guard)
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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.
