• Use clamps or another
practical way to secure and support
the workpiece
to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep your body positioned
to either side of the blade, but not in line with the
saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards
(see Causes and
Operator
Prevention
of Kickback
and KICKBACK).
• Avoid cutting nails, inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
• Always make sure nothing interferes with the movement of the lower blade guard,
• Accessories
must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning
label, Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
• Always make sure the saw is clean before using.
• Stop using this saw and have it properly serviced if any unusual noise or abnormal
operation occurs.
• Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely before using tool.
• Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or removing it or when
removing the diamond knockout.
• Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting a cut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold the tool firmly with
both hands when in use.
• Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations.
Always be sure of position of your hands relative to the blade.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/
or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
• Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type
plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
• An extension
cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American
Wire
Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
