ENGLISH | (Original instructions) |
•Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement during cut.
•Do not try to force saw back on line if your cut begins to go off line. This can cause KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw from cut and start a new cut on the line.
•Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut. Twisting the saw can cause the back edge of the blade to dig into the material, climb out of the work and run back toward the operator.
•Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
