Safety warnings for
manual saws

General rules

CAUTION
• Wear eye protectors when
operating the tool.
DANGER • Place hands away from the cutting area
and the blade. When operating the tool hold it firmly with
both hands to prevent accidental injury and prevent
loosing control.
WARNING • Accidental contact with the blade
may cause severe personal injury.
DANGER
• NEVER hold the material to be cut with
your hands or on your leg. Fasten the work piece
properly using vices or brackets to prevent body contact
with the blade, to prevent bending the blade or loosing
control on the tool or work piece.
WARNING
• When carrying the tool do not place
the blade near your body.
CAUTION
• Prevent electric shock when operating
the tool in case the blade makes contact with power wiring.
Hold it by the insulated parts.
• ALWAYS keep the power cable away from the cutting
area. The power cable SHALL NEVER hang over the work
piece when making cuts.
WARNING
• This saw shall not be mounted onto a
table to perform as a bench saw. This type of saw is not
designed for that purpose.
• Use extreme care when cutting branches or thin trees.
WARNING • NO DOT make cuts up high. Foresee
the trajectory of falling branch connections or crumbling.
Pay special attention to elevated cables.
Kickback
Kickback is the sudden strong movement that the tool
encounters and makes it fly away from the work piece. It
can make the operator loosing control and even cause
injuries. Usually it is caused when the blade is stuck into
the cut in the piece or because of deficient operation. To
prevent kickback take the following cautions:
• Use blades in good shape. Double-check they a properly
fitted. Bent or damaged blades with worn or blunt teeth
get stuck inside the material causing kickback.
• Always hold firmly the tool while operating. Keep good
footing and a stable position with both feet on the ground
the resist the possible kickback.
• To make cuts align the blade with the cut axis and wait
until the blade reaches its full speed before starting to cut.
Do not try to cut the work piece when the blade teeth are
on top of the cut. It could cause kickback.
• To start the job again inside the cut, center the blade
into the cut and verify the teeth are not buried in the
material.
• If you notice the blade is bending or the cut is
interrupted while the tool is running, release the switch
and leave the tool inside the work piece until the blades
stops completely. Do not try to remove the blade while
moving because it could cause kickback..
• To minimize the risk of a stuck blade and cause kickback,
when cutting a piece of wood remove all the nails. Humid
wood, warped or wood treated with pressure require special
attention during the cut. When using large planks use
supports on both sides of the cut to prevent that the weight
of the material closes the cut and catches the blade. Resin
and gum gets hard on the blades making the saw to operate
slowly. Use a resin and gum remover, hot water or kerosene
to remove those substances accumulated. DO NOT use
gasoline.
• Use special care when making pocket cuts on walls or
blind spots. The blade may touch hidden objects and
cause kickback.
• While operating the too do not place the hand or body
aligned the axis of the cut. There is the possibility of severe
injury if there is kickback .
