Adjusting Depth (Figs. 3 & 4)
1.
Unplug tool before adjusting blade depth.
2.
To adjust the depth of the cut, hold the saw by the handle and
loosen the depth adjusting lever by pulling it up, away from the shoe
(Fig. 3).
Fig. 3
3.
Raise or lower the shoe to the desired position. For the proper depth
setting, the blade should extend no more than 1/4" below the mate-
rial being cut (Fig. 4).
Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK:
KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf, or cutting slot,
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward operator.
KICKBACK is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating pro-
cedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
as given below:
1.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and posi-
tion your body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK
forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
2.
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.
3.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw
blade in the kerf, or cut, 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.
4.
Support large panels to minimize 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.
5.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly
set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and KICKBACK.
6.
Depth adjusting lever must be tight and secure before mak-
ing cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause bind-
ing and KICKBACK.
4.
Push the depth adjusting lever down to secure the shoe position.
Emptying the Chip Container
Chips and other debris from the workpiece are collected inside the chip
container, which needs to be emptied to ensure proper functioning of the
tool.
1.
Unplug tool.
2.
Remove the chip container (see "Removing and Installing Chip Con-
tainer") and empty. Use a brush to ensure all chips and debris have
been removed.
3.
Remove all chips and debris from upper guard, blade, and housing.
4.
Replace the chip container (see "Removing and Installing Chip Con-
tainer").
OPERATION
7.
Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause KICKBACK.
8.
Set the depth of cut for no more than 1/4" greater than the
thickness of the stock. The less blade exposed, the less chance
of binding and KICKBACK. Before cutting, be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
9.
Stay alert. Any distraction can cause twisting or binding. Repetitive
cuts may lull the user into careless movements.
To reduce the risk of injury, everyone in the work
area should wear safety goggles or glasses with
side shields. Unplug the tool before changing
accessories or making adjustments.
General Operation (Figs. 5 & 6)
Always clamp the workpiece securely on a saw horse or bench
(Fig. 5). See "Applications" for the correct way to support your work in
different situations.
