1. Never force the tool’s cutting accessory to cut. Forcing the tool will slow
down the speed of the cutting accessory, causing it to bind or kickback.
Apply gentle pressure and allow the cutting accessory to do the cutting.
2. Never use a dull or damaged cutting accessory.
a. A dull or improperly set cutting accessories produce a narrow kerf that
can cause excessive friction on the cutting accessory, resulting in binding
or a kickback. Keep the cutting accessory’s edge sharp and clean.
b. A dull cutting accessory requires more force to use the tool, possibly
causing the accessory to break. This may cause an injury.
3. Only use a cutting accessory of the recommended size (see Specifications).
4. Use the correct mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is designed to
hold the cutting accessory on the tool to allow optimum performance and
safety of operation. Mismatched mounting hardware may result in a tool
malfunction and cause an injury.
5. Do not touch the cutting accessory or the workpiece surface cut with this
tool. They may be hot and could inflict a burn injury.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting accessory caught
on the material. The material can be ejected and inflict a serious injury on the
user or a bystander. Kickback can also damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the material and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback can propel the material in the
direction of the cutting accessory’s rotation.
a. Use a clamp to hold the material if the tool includes a clamping system.
2. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the cutting accessory.
3. Only use cutting accessories designed for the tool.
POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible.
Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool's power cord
cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
