immediately start cutting after restarting the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a few minutes to
return to a normal operating temperature before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated. Always cool the
motor by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or overload.
OPERATION
How to hold the machine
•
Always hold the machine with both hands, with
the right hand on the main handle and with the
left hand on the side handle. (This applies even if
the operator is left-handed)
•
Do not stand directly in line with the blade.
Rather, stand in such a way that, if it kicks back,
you will not be in the path of the blade.
•
Never lean over the blade path. That would put
your body in line with the blade if it kicks back.
•
Do not cut above shoulder height.
•
Never cut while standing on a ladder or other unstable platform.
Before cutting
•
Check the area where the cut is to be made to ensure that it is clear of objects which could cause the
operator to stumble.
•
Before cutting, it is sometimes useful to mark the line of cut with chalk or the like. For straight cutting, a
wood plank is also useful in guiding the machine to make a straight cut.
•
Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance.
•
Ensure that all safety equipment is in place.
Proper Support for the Workpiece
•
Support the workpiece on in such a way that the
kerf will not pinch down on the blade.
•
Secure the workpiece so that it will not roll, slip
away or move due to vibration while cutting
•
The cutting sequence is important when making
cutouts. Always make the last cut in a way that
avoids the blade being pinched. Thus, make the
bottom horizontal cut first, then the sides and finally make the top horizontal cut last.
•
Make note of the weight of the workpiece and the direction which it will fall when it is cut through.
•
Whenever there is a situation where severing the workpiece will cause a hazardous situation, leave a tab
of material intact and finish off the operation with a chisel or the like.
