2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check
operation of lower guard before each use.
Don't use if lower guard does not close
briskly over saw blade.
CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may
be bent, restricting full return.
3. Do not use blades which are deformed or
cracked.
4. Do not use blades of high speed steel.
5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
7. DANGER:
Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.
Keep hands away from blades. Don't reach
underneath work while blade is rotating.
Don't attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

requires the resting of the saw on the work-
piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger
portion and the smaller piece cut off.
9. Use Rip Fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide
when ripping.
10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly
and is driven back towards the operator.
Release switch immediately if blade binds or
saw stalls. Keep blades sharp. Support large
panels as shown in Fig. 1.
Use fence or straight edge guide when rip-
ping. Don't force tool. Stay alert – exercise
control. Don't remove saw from work during a
cut while the blade is moving. NEVER place
your hand or fingers behind the saw. If kick-
back occurs, the saw could easily jump back-
wards over your hand, possibly causing
severe injury.

Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.

Don't use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolts.
14. Avoid Cutting Nails.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting.
15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it
will not be caught on the workpiece during
the cutting operation. Operate with proper
hand support, proper workpiece support, and
supply cord routing away from the work area.
WARNING:
It is important to support the workpiece prop-
erly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss
of control which could cause personal injury.
