Keep fingers and hands away from the saw blade and out of blade path during opera- tion. Use clamps to hold the workpiece in place if needed.
Let the saw reach full speed before contact- ing the workpiece. Doing so will reduce the risk of kickback, help provide the cleanest cut, and reduce stress on the saw motor.

Note: Holding the power trigger alone will not activate the saw. For power to be activated, both the plunge release and the power trig- ger must be pressed. After power has been activated, the plunge release can be disen- gaged.

Making blind plunge cuts without checking your cutting path for unseen objects could result in injury from kickback, electrocution, building damage or fire, gas explosions, or death. Whenever making a blind plunge cut into a standing structure (like a wall), always check the cutting path for hidden wires, nails, and other metal objects by thoroughly scanning the area with an electric stud finder or similar device. NEVER risk a blind plunge cut without first checking your cut- ting path.
Whenever operating the saw in the vicinity of live wires, always wear insulated gloves. Avoid unintentionally grounding yourself when operating the saw by being in contact with
