WARNING: Stay alert and maintain a firm grip on the saw. Release the switch immediately if the blade binds or the saw stalls. Keep your blade sharp. Properly support panels (Fig. 5, 6). Use the track when ripping. DO NOT force the tool. DO NOT remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
WARNING: To help reduce the risk of personal injury, always clamp work. Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember to support cantilevered and over hanging material. Use caution when sawing material from below.
WARNING: Be sure that the saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material to be cut. Starting the saw with blade against material to be cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback and personal injury.
WARNING: ALWAYS secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while sawing. For optimum results, clamp the workpiece bottom up.
WARNING: ALWAYS push the machine forwards. NEVER pull the machine backwards towards you.
