OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use sharp blades. Do not apply exces- sive pressure to the saw while using. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease pressure immediately. If the blade stops abruptly or becomes locked, release the trigger at once. Extract the blade and determine what occured to cause this and recti- fiy.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Insure the saw blade will not pass through bench or saw horse that workpiece may be on. Securely fix smaller objects to be sawn, fastened in a vise or otherwise clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold work piece by hand.
Avoid blade pinch. Saw blades may become pinched while cutting a workpiece that is improperly support- ed, very thick workpieces or when several workpieces are loosely stacked. Know how to avoid these situations to minimize risk of damage to the saw, saw blade or personal injury.
Inspect the saw before use. Run the saw before using to ensure all parts are running smoothly and there are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any defect is found, have unit serviced.
Know your worksite. Only cut as deep as necessary. Check behind walls for for wires, other electrical hazards, or plumbing.
Use accessories properly. Use the right blade for the job. Be aware of blade TPI necessary for the type and thick- ness of the material. Use the appro- priate blade speed- when in doubt slow the blade speed.
