Never use the side of the blade for cutting.
When making horizontal cuts, make sure the
weight of the tool is not forcing the side of the
blade to do the cutting. This will reduce the risk
of kickback.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the area of the workpiece to be
cut.
Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like
concrete, stone, etc. The protruding blade may
cause tool to jump.
DANGER: To avoid injury from
accidental starting, always remove the plug
from the power source before making any
adjustments and before installing or
removing a saw blade.
When replacing the blade, make sure the
replacement blade is 3⅜" in diameter and is
rated for at least 3,500 RPM. Installing an
incorrect blade will result in possible injury and
poor cutting action.
After changing a blade or making
adjustments, make sure the blade clamp
screw is securely tightened. Loose blades
and adjustment devices will be violently thrown.
Never touch the blade during or immediately
after use. After use the blade is too hot to be
safely touched with bare hands.
