2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
KICKBACK IS THE RESULT OF SAW MISUSE AND/OR INCORRECT
OPERATING PROCEDURES OR CONDITIONS AND CAN BE AVOIDED
BY TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS GIVEN BELOW.
A. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position
your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could
cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
B. When 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 work 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.
C. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade
in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.
D. Support large panels to minimise 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.
E. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
F. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight
