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.

• 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.

• When restarting a saw in the workpiece,

centre 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.

• 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.

To avoid kickback, do support

board or panel near the cut.

Do not support board or

panel away from the cut.

•

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,

blade binding and kickback.

• 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.

• Use extra caution when making a "plunge

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Lower guard should 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.

13. Always observe that the lower guard is

covering the blade before placing saw 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.

14. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the

saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump

backwards over your hand, leading to serious

personal injury.

15. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a

speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
