e. Do not use dull or damaged blade. 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 and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

g.Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

Additional Specific Instructions

CAUTION: When cutting into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you cut into a live wire.

•KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

•SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large panels must be supported as shown in Figure 10 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

•GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Keep blades sharp. Support large panels as shown in Figure 10. Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Don’t force tool. Stay alert-exercise control. Don’t remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.

•ADJUSTMENTS. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

•AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

•NEVER use abrasive cut-off wheels.

•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
