Vibration Precautions - Power Fist 8843518 Manual

6. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of
the panel.
7. To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback, when cutting
operation requires the resting of the tool on the workpiece, the tool
should be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
8. 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.
9. Only use blades designed for the tool. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow cuts causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. Keep blades sharp and
clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows the saw and
increases potential for kickback.
10. Never force the saw. Forcing the tool can cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy,
and possible kickback. Push the tool forward at a speed so that the blade cuts
without slowing.
