ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL

ENB036-4

1. Wear hearing protection.

2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working

Order.

Never wedge or tie lower guard open.

Check operation of lower guard before each use.

Don’t use if lower guard does not close briskly over saw blade.

CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return.

3. Do not use blades which are deformed or cracked.

4. Do not use blades made of high speed steel.

5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the saw blade.

6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.

Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

7. DANGER:

Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.

Keep hands away from blades. Don’t reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Don’t attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

8. Support Large Panels (Fig. 1 & 2).

Large panels must be supported as shown in Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

Fig. 1

To avoid kickback, do support board or panel near the cut.

Fig. 2

Do not support board or panel away from the cut.

9. Use Rip Fence.

Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)

Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Keep blades sharp.

Support large panels as shown in Fig. 1.

Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

Don’t force tool. Stay alert-exercise control. Don’t remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could

easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.

personal injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

Fig. 3

11. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “Compound Cuts”. Raise lower guard by

Retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be

released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

12. Adjustments.

Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

13. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.

Don’t use blades with incorrect size holes.

Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.

14. Avoid Cutting Nails.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation. Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away from the work area.

WARNING:

It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause

Fig. 4

A typical illustration of proper hand support, workpiece support, and supply cord routing.

16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made.

As example, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig.

6 the WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DON’T TRY

TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND! (Fig.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.

Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury.

Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing slowly until the sawing is completed. To get clear cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advancing uniform.
