of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the material being cut can momentarily reduce operator control. The saw can lift partially out of the cut increasing the chance of blade twist. Ensure there is sufficient clearance under the workpiece.

When necessary to raise lower guard manually, use the retracting lever.

KEEP THE BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback. The use of dull and/or dirty blades can increase the saw loading causing the operator to push harder which promotes twisting.

DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Never place hands in front of or behind the path of the blade while cutting. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large panels must be supported as shown (figure 1) in this manual to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Material supported only at the ends (figure 2) will lead to blade pinching. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES AND BLADE ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS WHEN MOUNTING BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes.

Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts. Follow blade assembly procedures.

ADJUSTMENTS. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

SUPPORT AND SECURE THE WORK PROPERLY. Insure that the material to be cut is clamped (figure 3) and solidly supported and balanced on a strong, stable and level work surface. Support the work so that the wide portion of the saw shoe is on the portion of the material that doesn’t fall after the cut is made. Never hold cut off piece by hand (figure 4 ). KICKBACK from blade pinch can result. Keep both hands on saw at all times.
