Additional safety warnings
23.Intended use
This tool is intended to cut wood products only. Accumulated sawdust on the lower guard and hub from other materials may effect the proper closure of the lower guard which could lead to serious personal injury.
24.Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber, or wood containing knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
25.Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.Blades coast after turn off.
26.Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
27.Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 1 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 2 the WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down.
DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

31.Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the saw blade.
32.Do not use any abrasive wheels.
33.Only use the blade with the diameter that is marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper guarding of the blade or guard operation which could result in serious personal injury.
