SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS
GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check guard for proper closing before each use.
Do not operate the saw if guard does not move
freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp
or tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw
is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check to
make sure that guard moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of
cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift
while performing the “plunge cut” when the blade
bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways
will cause binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or oor.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIAMOND CUTTING-
OFF OPERATION
a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
