24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Use only three-wire extension cords that have three- prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See “Causes and Oper- ator Prevention of Kickback”)
Page 6
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
