safetypractices:
• Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The
depth setting should not extend more than 1/4"
below the material that is being cut.
• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before
cutting. Never saw into a knot or nail.
• Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge
guide when rip cutting. This helps keep the blade
from twisting.
• Use clean, sharp,and properly set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
• Support the workpiece properly before
beginning a cut. Never force a cut.
• Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
• Hold the saw rmly with both hands, and
maintain a balanced position to resist the forces
if kickback should occur.
DANGER!
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade is moving.
Starting a cut
ALWAYS use your saw with your hands positioned correctly: with one hand on the main handle and
operating the trigger switch and the other hand on the front assist handle (g 9).
NEVER use the saw with your hands positioned as shown in (g 10).
DANGER!
When lifting the saw from the
workpiece, the blade is exposed on the
underside of the saw until the lower
blade guard closes. Make sure that
the lower blade guard is closed before
setting the saw down.
WARNING!
To make sawing easier and safer,
always maintain proper control of the
saw. Loss of control could cause an
accident, resulting in possible serious
injury.
