WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
■ Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessories
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
■ Secure the workpiece. Clamping devices or
a vise will hold the workpiece in place better
than the hand.
■ Secure material before cutting. Never hold
it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin
material may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
■ Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade. Keep your other hand on the front
handle. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
■ Do not use a damaged blade. Before each
use inspect the blade for cracks, chips or
other damage. Replace a damaged blade
immediately.
■ Keep hands from between the blade
and material guide. Always start cut with
workpiece on the material guide. When tool
starts work will be pulled to the material
