Kawasaki 840055 Drill User Manual


 
GENERAL CUTTING
Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your
hands and feet well away from the work piece.
Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed.
If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious
personal injury.
Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a
broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the
work piece.
• Put on eye protection.
• Clear the saw of any foreign material.
• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise
or attach to the workbench with clamps.
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.
• Pull the trigger to start the saw.
• Set the shoe against the work piece.
• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece.
