depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut.Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut.The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas.The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for this mini circular saw
a) Check before each use that the safety guard closes correctly. Do not use
t he saw if the lower safety guard does not move freely and does not close
i m mediately. Never clamp or secure the lower safety guard in the open
position. If the saw should accidentally fall to the ground, the lower safety
guard may become bent.
ensure that it moves freely. Check that it does not interfere with the saw blade or
other components, at any cutting angle or cutting depth.
Open the safety guard with the retraction lever and
