Sears 315.27516 To Lessen the Chance of Kickback, Depth of CUT Adjustment, To Adjust Blade Depth

TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK:

•Always keep the correct blade depth setting - the correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 inch below the material to be cut.

See Figure 8.

•When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.

•Do not cut warped or wet lumber.

•Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and

keep your body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces of kickback should it occur.

When using your saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove your saw from workpiece while the blade is moving.

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

	Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
	blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4
	inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth
	will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut
	to be rough.
	TO ADJUST		BLADE		DEPTH
	•	Unplug your saw.
	_. WARNING:			Failure to unplug your saw could
		result in accidental starting causing possible

•Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Never saw into a knot or nail.

•Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade in the cut.

•APways use clean, sharp and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.

•To avoid pinching the blade, support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut. The right and wrong ways to support large pieces of workpiece are shown in figures 7 and 9.
