(8) Advance saw along the cutting line up to the corner.
(9) Release trigger switch and allow the blade to stop completely before withdrawing the blade
from the workpiece. Never under any circumstances pull the saw backwards while the
blade is in motion, as kickback may result.
(10) Use a jig saw or hand saw to cut the corners out clean.
(11) When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
WARNING:
8. Appropriate support for cutting large workpiece
DON'T support the large workpiece away from the cut.
Support
Fig. 27-a
When the support is away from the cutting path, it may cause the large workpiece to be curved.
In such case, the blade is likely to be bound, causing a kickback and increasing the load to the
motor. (Fig. 27-a)
Therefore, to avoid the possible personal injury or kickback occurred, ALWAYS cut the large
workpiece with the appropriate support which shall be near the cutting path. (Fig. 27-b)
Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while
cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
ALWAYS support the large workpiece near the cut.
