Technical and legal information
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 kickba
ck 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
walk up or kickb
ack 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 lev
ers 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 plunge type saws
Guard function
a) Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the
saw if the guard does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make sure that the
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 gua
rd return spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. The 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 a
“plunge cut”. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing sthe aw
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.
