INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
Kickback causes and related warnings
•
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
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 the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the saw and
a)
position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to 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.
b)
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,
c)
center the saw blade in the kerf and
check 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.
Support large panels to minimize the
d)
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.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
e)
16
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
f)
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SAWS WITH INNER
PENDULUM GUARD
Lower guard function
Check the lower guard for proper closing
a)
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.
Check the operation of the lower guard
b)
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.
Lower guard may be retracted manually
c)
only for special cuts such as "plunge
cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise the
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.
Always observe that the lower guard is
d)
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.
