Cutting procedures

a)   

DANGER: Keep hands away from 

cutting area and the blade. Keep 
your second hand on auxiliary 

handle, or motor housing. 

If both hands are 

holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b)  

Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

 The 

guard cannot protect you from the blade below 
the workpiece.

c)  

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the 
workpiece. 

Less than a full tooth of the blade 

teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

d)  

Never hold piece being cut in your hands 
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to 
a stable platform. 

It is important to support 

the work properly to minimize body exposure, 
blade binding, or loss of control.

e)  

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces only, when performing an operation 
where the cutting tool may contact hidden 
wiring or its own cord. 

Contact with a “live” 

wire will also make exposed metal parts of the 
power tool “live” and could give the operator an 
electric shock.

f)  

When ripping, always use a rip fence or 
straight edge guide. 

This improves the ac-

curacy of cut and reduces the chance of blade 
binding.

g)  

Always use blades with correct size and 
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour 
holes. 

Blades that do not match the mounting 

hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, caus-
ing loss of control.

h)  

Never use damaged or incorrect blade 
washers or bolt. 

The blade washers and bolt 

were specially designed for your saw, for opti-
mum performance and safety of operation.

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 work-
piece 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 incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can 
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given 
below.

a)  

Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the 
saw and 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 kick-
back 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.

c)  

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, 
centre 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.
