F
. The Saw Blade (10) depth adjusting Lock Lever (50) and Rip Guide Pins
(29) must be kept tight and secure before making a cut. If Saw Blade
adjustments shift while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
13.
Check the Blade Cover (12) for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the Saw if the Blade Cover does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the Blade Cover into the open position. If the Saw is
accidently dropped, the Blade Cover may be bent. Raise the Blade Cover and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the Saw Blade (10) or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
14.
Check the operation and condition of the Blade Cover Spring (13). If the
Blade Cover and the Spring are not operating properly, they must be
serviced before use. The Blade Cover may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
15.
The Blade Cover (12) should be retracted manually only for special cuts
such as “pocket cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the Blade Cover by it
retracting handle. As soon as the Saw Blade (10) enters the workpiece, the
Blade Cover must be released. For all other sawing, the Blade Cover should
operate automatically.
16.
Always observe that the Blade Cover (12) is covering the Saw Blade (10)
before placing the Saw down on a bench or floor. An unprotected, rotating
Saw Blade will cause the Saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the Saw Blade to stop after the Trigger Switch
(66) is released.
17.
Always hold the Saw by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may accidentally contact wiring or its own
Power Cord (71). Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
18.
When ripping, always use the Rip Guide (73). This improves the accuracy of
the cut, and reduces the chance for Saw Blade (10) binding.
19.
Always use the proper size and type of Saw Blade (10): 7-1/4” diameter,
metal cutting, 3,500 minimum rated RPM or greater.
