For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
l It is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the saw firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
•Figure 9 shows proper cutting position.
•Note that hands are kept away from cutting area.
•Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
•When cutting, do not try to hold the material
with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set
the depth of the cut so that you only cut
through the workpiece, not through the
supports. (See Fig.10)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not
correctly supported. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting
the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind,
causing kickback. (See Fig.11)
•Don't support the material away from the cut.
Cutting thin material;
Avoid injury or damage caused by cut thin
strips material.
•Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
