Danger
- Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
- Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
- Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
- Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
support the work properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
