When 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. 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 climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking pr

TELESCOPING GUARD The telescoping guard (A) Fig. 3 is a safety device important to your protection. Every time you use the saw, verify that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. At least once a month, remove any accumulated debris (sawdust, pitch, etc.) from the area around the hub (B) of the telescoping guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling. DO NOT block or wedge the telesc

Fig.17 Fig. 18 CROSS-CUTTING Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called crosscutting. Position the work so that the cut will be on the left. RIPPING Cutting wood lengthwise is referred to as ripping. This operation is performed in the same manner as crosscutting with the exception of supporting the workpiece. If the workpiece is supported on a large table, bench, or floor, place several pieces of scrap stock approximately one inch thick beneath the workpiece to allow clear

POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING) A pocket cut is one which must be made inside the area of the workpiece and not starting from the edge. Mark the area clearly with lines on all sides. Start near the corner of one side and place the front edge of the saw base firmly on the workpiece. Hold the saw up so that the blade clears the material. Confirm that you have adjusted the blade properly for the depth of cut. Push the telescoping guard lever all the way Fig. 21 back so the blade is exposed (Fig. 21).
