10.1. Safety Precautions
a. NEVER leave the saw running unattended.
b. DO NOT overreach. Maintain control.
c. DO NOT force the tool into workpiece.
d. AVOID kickback by keeping blade from binding.
e. IF the saw is stopped in mid-cut, allow the blade to
stop completely. Then back up the saw before
restarting.
f. CROSSCUTTING (vertical cutting) must always be done
from the top down.
g. RIPCUTTING (horizontal cutting) must always be done with the direction of the arrow, right to
left.
h. ALWAYS wait for the blade to stop completely before changing positions.
i. NEVER REMOVE the skill saw from the frame, except for service by the Maintenance Team.
j. FEEDING material through the machine horizontally or moving the saw carriage material
vertically MUST BE DONE SLOWLY, SMOOTHLY AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE WITHOUT STOPPING.
OVER FEEDING will cause poor quality cuts and over load the saw motor.
