36. BE CAREFUL OF BRAKE KICKBACK.
This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. As
there is some kickback when the brake functions, be sure to hold the main body securely.
37. USE ONLY DESIGNATED CARBON BRUSHES.
Use of replacement carbon brushes other than those designated will cause the brake to
malfunction.
38. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check operation of lower guard before each use.
Do not use if lower guard does not close briskly over saw blade.
CAUTION:
If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return.
39. KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
40. DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do
not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
CAUTION:
Blades coast after turn off.
41. SUPPORT LARGE PANELS.
Large panels must be supported as sown in Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of saw on the work piece, the
saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

42. USE RIP FENCE.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
43. WARNING:
It is important to support the work properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 2 illustrates typical hand support of the
saw. When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it
so that it will not be caught on the work piece during the cutting operation.
