Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.

13.Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

14.When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away from the work area.
