▶ Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Guard function
▶ Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the guard does
not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is
exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make sure that the guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
▶ Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
▶ Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing a "plunge cut". Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
▶ Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
Riving knife function
▶ Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function, the body of the
blade must be thinner than the riving knife and the cutting width of the blade must be wider than the
thickness of the riving knife.
▶ Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and
alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
▶ Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. The riving knife must be replaced after
plunge cutting. The riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can create kickback.
▶ For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
▶ Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent. Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of
a guard.
