hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control
and will not allow proper vari-torque engagement.
12. never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The
blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation. The blade washers
and the bolt on your saw have been designed to work as a "VARI-
TORQUE CLUTCH". Understand the operation and settings of
the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH,because the proper setting of the
CLUTCH, combined with firm handing of the saw will allow you to
control KICKBACK.
13. do not run the saw while carrying it at your side. the lower
guard may be opened by a contact with your clothing. Accidental
contact with the spinning saw blade could result in serious personal
injury.
14. according to your use, the switch may not last the life of the
saw. If the switch should fail in the "OFF" position, the saw may not
start. If it should fail while the saw is running, the saw may not shut
off. If either occurs, do not use until the saw has been repaired by
an authorized service centre.
15. this circular saw should not be mounted to a table and
converted to a table saw. Circular saw are not designed or
intended to be used as table saws.
16. when blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward
while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
Wet lumber, green lumber or pressure-treated lumber require
special attention during cutting operation to prevent KICKBACK.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting.
17. when restarting a saw in a workpiece, center the saw blade
in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
18. do not use a dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly
set blades will produce a narrow kerf, causing excessive friction,
blade binding and KICKBACK.
19. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking knobs must be tight
and secure before making any cut. if blade adjustment shifts
while cutting, it may cause binding and KiCKBaCK. Using
the saw with an excessive depth of cut setting increases loading
on the unit and susceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kerf. It
also increases the surface area of the blade available for pinching
under conditions fo kerf close down.
20. 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.
