guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
7.NEVER hold piece being cut in your hand or across the legs. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
8.Always use blades with correct size and shape arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
9.Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolts were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
10.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 backwards while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
11.When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
12.Support must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel
13.Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction.
14.Blade depth and bevel adjusting levers must be tight and secure before making cut.
15.Never place your hand or fingers behind the saw. If KICKBACK occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hands, possibly causing severe injury.
16.Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

17. Avoid cutting nails, inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
18.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.
19.Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise.
20.Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower guard has closed and blade has come to a complete stop.
