3.
Prevent damage to the air hose by observing the following:
a.
Never carry the tool by the air hose.
b.
Keep the air hose behind the tool and out of the tool's work path.
c.
Keep the air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d.
Do not wrap the air hose around the tool as sharp edges may pierce
or crack the air hose. Gently coil the hose and either hang on a hook
or fasten with a device to keep hose together when storing.
4.
A damaged or disconnected air hose under pressure may whip around and
inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure the compressor's
air hose to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the cut workpiece closing down,
the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator. Kickback may result in loss of control of the tool leading to serious
personal injury, damage to the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1.
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction
opposite to the tool's movement at the time of snagging.
2.
Never place your hand near the blade. If kickback occurs, the blade may
pass over your hand and seriously injury you. Use clamps or a vice to hold
down the workpiece.
3.
Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the blade and cause loss of
control or kickback.
4.
When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the workpiece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
5.
When restarting a blade in the workpiece, center the blade in the cut and check
that blade teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
