GreenWorks CRD401 Manuel De L'utilisateur page 7

• When blade is binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the blade is
in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf so that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binds, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk
of blade pinching and kickback.Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel on both sides,
near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged
blades.Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making the cut.If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas.The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
5 LOWER GUARD SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, the lower
guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of
debris.
• The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts". Raise the lower guard
by the retracting handle and as soon as the
blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
English
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.
