OPERATION
TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL:
■Always support your workpiece near the cut.
■Support your workpiece so the cut will be on your left.
■Clamp your workpiece so it will not move during the cut.
Place your workpiece with its good side down.
NOTE: The good side is the side on which appearance is important.
Before beginning a cut, draw a guideline along the desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on that part of your workpiece that is solidly supported. See Figure 13.
Never place your saw on that part of the workpiece that will fall off when the cut is made. See Figure 15.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands.
See Figure 16.

WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause your saw to "kickback" towards you resulting in serious injury.
When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Forcing causes rough cuts, could shorten the life of your saw and could cause "kickback."
DANGER:
When sawing through work, the lower blade guard does not cover the blade, exposing it on the underside of work. Keep your hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with the moving blade will result in serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove your saw from workpiece while the blade is moving.
CAUTION:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of your saw. Loss of control of your saw could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury.
