SAW BLADES The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will place a heavy load on your saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades are always available.
KICKBACK See Figure 11. I' _ KICKBACK TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK: • Always keep the correct blade depth setting - the correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material to be cut. See Figure 13. One blade tooth below the material to be cut works best for most efficient cutting action.
• 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 andkeep 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.
TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL: • Always support your workpiece near the cut. • Support your workpiece so the cut will be on your left. • Clamp your workpiece so it will not move during the cut. Place your workpiece with its good side down. Note: The good side is the side on which appearance is important.
TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the saw base as shown in figure 20.
