SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade at all times! Keep your second hand
on an auxiliary handle.
If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the work.
3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
4. Always use blades with correct size and
shape arbor holes.
Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
5. Never use damaged or incorrect arbor
flanges or bolts.
The arbor flanges and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for best
performance and safety of operation.
6. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and
position your body and arm in a way that
allows you to resist KICKBACK forces.
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
7. Do not use a dull or damaged blade.
8. Use only recommended
blades, rated at the
machine’s maximum rated RPM or higher
with correct arbor hole.
9. Tighten blade retaining bolt
and all clamps
before operating.
10. Check the inside surfaces
of the arbor
flanges as well as the sides of the blade for
freedom from any foreign matter.
11. Check the blade
for cracks or other damage
before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately. Carry out a test
run without load for at least 30 seconds
before use.
12. Never start the tool
with the workpiece
against the blade.
13. Allow the motor to achieve full speed
before cutting.
14. Important: After completing the cut,
release power switch and wait for coasting
blade to stop completely before putting the
saw down

the tool in an area with
flammable solids, liquids, or gases. Sparks
from the commutator/carbon brushes could
