• 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 minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the

saw on the workpiece, the saw should be rested on

the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

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. Keep blade sharp

and clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on

blades slows saw and increases potential for

kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it

from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch

remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use

gasoline.

• 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. For plunge cuts, retract lower

guard using retracting handle.

• 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.

• Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can

cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and

possible kickback. Push the saw forward at

a speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.

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.

To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,

then release and watch guard closure. Also check

to see that retracting handle does not touch tool

housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY

DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personal

injury.

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
