c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material.
If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback 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 levers
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.
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 he blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
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 the saw down on bench or
fl oor.
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and
bevel adjustments are tight.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from work piece before cutting.
WARNING
It is important to support the work piece properly
and to hold the saw fi rmly to prevent loss of
control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 1
illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

HAND SUPPORT WORKPIECE SUPPORT,
AND SUPPLY CORD ROUTING.
3. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the work piece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made.
As examples, Fig. 2 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut
off the end of board, and Fig. 3 the WRONG way. If the
work piece is short or small, clamp it down.
DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!
