IMPORTANT: if a noticeable rise in temperature occurs in the motorhousing and the saw becomes uncomfortableto hold, turn the saw off, and allow it to cool downto roomtemperature and check the blade for wear before resumingyour cuttingproject. If this is not done, permanent damage to the saw will result.

Make sure that the material being cut is within the specificationof the saw'scapacity.
