STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW

See Figure 11.

To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.

Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece.

WARNING:

The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to “kickback” toward you, resulting in serious injury.

To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.

After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
