f orces.
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
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 action to eliminate the cause
of blade binding. Wet lumber, green lumber or
pressure treated lumber require special
attention during cutting operation to prevent
KICKBACK Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting
When restarting a saw in a workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf 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.
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. ,See "Cutting Large Sheets"in this
manual
Do not use dull or damaged blade.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerr causing excessive friction, blade
binding and KICKBACK.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
knobs must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.
Using the saw w/?h an excessive depth of cut
seLting increases loading on the unit and
susceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kenf
/t also increases the surface area of the blade
available for pinching under conditions of kerf
close down.
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.
__J_ Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
