e) Hold the power tool only by the
insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the
cutting tool may make contact with
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live"and electrocute the
operator.
f) When making a longitudinal cut,
always use a stopper or straight
edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of the cut and reduces the
possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use blades of the correct
size and with the appropriate
shape (star-shaped versus round)
of arbour holes. Saw blades that do
not correspond to the assembly parts
of the saw will run unevenly and will
lead to a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect
blade washers or bolts. The saw
blade washers and screws have been
designed specifically for your saw in
order to ensure optimum
performance and operating safety.
Additional saw safety notes
Causes of kickback and the
appropriate safety notes
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the work piece toward
the operato ;
- If the blade is pinched or bound
tightly by the kerf closing down, the
blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward
the operator.
42
- If the blade becomes twisted or
misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into
the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to move out of the kerf and
jump back toward the operator.
A kickback is a consequence of
incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can
be prevented by the use of suitable
measures, as described below:
a) Maintain a firm grip on the saw and
position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Always position
yourself to the side of the blade,
never have the blade in line with
your body. Kickback could cause the
saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the
operator if proper precautions are
taken.
b) When the 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
actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work
piece, centre the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If the
blade is jammed, it may jump out of
the work piece or cause a kickback
when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise
the risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels/boards may
bend under their own weight.
