For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
•It is important to use an appropriate device to hold the material being cut properly, and to hold the saw firmly with both hands to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury.
•Figure 9 shows proper cutting position.
•Note that hands are kept away from cutting area.
•Make sure bystanders are away from work area and from underneath of workpiece.
•When cutting, do not try to hold the material with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you only cut through the workpiece, not through the supports. (See Fig.10)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback. (See Fig.11)
•Don’t support the material away from the cut.
Cutting thin material;
Avoid injury or damage caused by cut thin strips material.
•Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
