Additional Specific Instructions
CAUTION: When cutting into walls, floors or wherever live electrical
wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF
THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated grasping surfaces to
prevent electric shock if you cut into a live wire.
• KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work while blade
is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large panels must be supported as
shown in Figure 10 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and
kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw
on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion
and the smaller piece cut off.
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw
stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release
switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Keep blades sharp.
Support large panels as shown in Figure 10. Use fence or straight
edge guide when ripping. Don't force tool. Stay alert-exercise
control. Don't remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is
moving.
• ADJUSTMENTS. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
• AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from
lumber before cutting.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
