TO LESSENTHECHANCEOFKICKBACK:
• Always keep the correct blade depth setting - the
correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not
exceed 1/4 inch below the material to be cut. See
Figure 8.

• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before
beginning a cut. Never saw into a knot or nail.
• Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge
guide when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting
the blade in the cut.
• Always use clean, sharp and properly set blades.
Never make cuts with dull blades.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the workpiece
properly before beginning a cut. The right and
wrong ways to support large pieces of work are
shown in Figures 7 and 9.

• When making a cut use steady, even pressure.
Never force cuts.
• Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
• Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and
keep your body in a balanced position so as to
resist the forces of kickback should it occur.
When using your saw, always stay alert and
exercise control. Do not remove your saw from
workpiece while the blade is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4
inch below the material to be cut. More blade depth
will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut
to be rough.
TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH
• Unplug your saw.
_ WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
• Loosen wing nut. See Figure 10.
