safety.

• Before applying or removing the abrasive support, unplug the tool from the electric power supply. Any

maintenance must be performed safely in order to prevent accidents caused by an unexpected start.

• Collect the dust produced by connecting the electrical tool connection to a vacuum. This will provide the

best protection for your respiratory tracts and the job will be easier.

• Wait for the electrical tool to stop completely before putting it down. The moving parts could cause falling.

Kickback: causes and prevention by the operator

Kickback is an unexpected reaction to a stuck or misaligned blade, which causes an uncontrolled

upwards movement with the saw coming off the piece being processed towards the operator;

When a blade is stuck or blocked by the cut that has been made, the blade stops and the reaction of the

motor sends the unit quickly backwards towards the operator;

If the blade gets twisted or misaligned inside the cut, the teeth on the rear edge of the blade can dig into

the upper surface of the wood making it come out of the cut and jump backwards towards the operator.

Kickback is the result to improper use of the saw and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and

can be avoided by adopting the suitable precautions indicated above.

• Keeparmholdwithbothhandsonthesawandpositionarmssoastowithstandthekickbackforces.

Put your body in a lateral position in relation to the blade, but not in line with it. Kickback could cause

the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator when the suitable

precautions are adopted.

• Whenthebladebendsoracutisinterruptedforanyreason,releasethetriggerandholdthesawrmly

in the material until the blade stops completely. Do not attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull

it backwards while the blade is moving; otherwise kickback may occur. Analyse and adopt the measures

for eliminating the cause of the blade bending.

• When restarting the saw inside the piece being processed, centre the blade in the cut and check that

the saw's teeth are not engaged in the material. If the blade bends, it may come out or have a kickback

reaction from the piece being processed when it is restarted

• Support large panels in order to reduce the risk of the blade gelling stuck and kickback as much as

possible. Large panels tend to bend under their own weight. The supports must be placed under the

panel on both sides, near the cutting line and the edge of the panel.

• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or badly adjusted blades produce small cuts that lead

excessive friction, bending the blade and causing kickback.
