d ) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade
before placing saw down on bench or floor. An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Additional Safety Instructions for All Saws
With Riving Knife
a ) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being
used. For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of
the blade.
b ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
preventing kickback.
c ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing
kickback during short cuts.
d ) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a
light interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
