g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these  

     instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be  

    performed.

 Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result  

     in a hazardous situation.

h) 

Caution!:

The chip collector tray could be very hot while cutting or after cutting.

Don’t touch it by hand!! 

5) SERVICE

a)

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical 

    replacement parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Instructions for Saw

DANGER: 

a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on  

    auxiliary handle. 

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) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece  

   with the vice or clamps when necessary.

 It is important to support the work properly to  

   minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. 

d) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 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 shock the operator.

e) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor   

   holes. 

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run ineffectively,  

   causing loss of control.

f) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. 

The blade washers and bolts  

   are specially designed for your saw, ensuring optimum performance and safety of operation.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:

• 

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an  

uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.

• 

When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the cut 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 metal, causing the blade to climb out of the cut and jump  

back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can 

be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: 

a) Maintain a firm grip on saw handle 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 kickback forces can be controlled by the
