Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
5.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce a narrow kerf which
causes excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
6.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
7.
Use extra caution when making a “plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause kickback.
Ensure that the retracting blade guard is
functioning correctly:
•
Check retracting guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
if retracting guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
retracting guard into the open position. If saw
is accidentally dropped, retracting guard may
be bent. Raise the retracting guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
•
Check the operation of the retracting
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Retracting guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
•
Retracting guard should be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.”
Raise retracting guard by retracting handle
and as soon as blade enters the material,
the retracting guard must be released. For
all other sawing, the retracting guard should
operate automatically.
•
Always observe that the retracting guard
is covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever
is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch
is released.
