SAFETY RULESFOR
CIRCULAR
SAWS cont.
7. NEVER
hold the piece being cut in your hands
or across
your legs,
it is important
to support
the work properly
in order to minimize
body
exposure,
blade binding,
or loss of control
8. ALWAYS
hold tool by insulated
gripping
surfaces
when performing
an operation
where
the cutting
toot may contact
hidden
wiring
or its
own cord. Contact
with a 'live" wire will make the exposed
metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator
9. When
ripping,
ALWAYS
use a rip fence
or straight
edge
guide.
This improves
the accuracy
of the cut and reduces
the chance
of
the blade binding
10, ALWAYS
use blades
that
have the correct
size and shape
(diamond
vs. round)
arbor
holes.
Blades
that do not match
the mounting
hardware
of the saw will run erratically
and
will cause
loss of control.
11. ALWAYS
BE SURE
that all adjusting
screws
and the blade holder
are fastened
tightly
BEFORE
making
a cut, Loose
adjusting
screws
and holders
can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss
of control
may result°
12. When
removing
the blade from the tool, ALWAYS
avoid contact
with skin and ALWAYS
wear protective
gloves when grasping
the blade or accessory.
Accessories
may be hot after
prolonged
use.
KICKBACK...WHAT
CAUSES
IT AND WAYS TO PREVENT
IT
The Causes
of Kickback
1. Kickback
is a sudden
reaction
to a pinched,
bound
or misaligned
saw blade, which causes
the uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out
of the workpiece
and towards
the operator,
2. 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
towards
the operator°
3. 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. This causes
the blade to climb out of the kerr and
jump
back towards
the operator.
4. Kickback
is a result of tool misuse
and!or
incorrect
operating
procedures
or conditions°
It can be avoided
by taking the proper
precautions,
as listed on next page.
