The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
3. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
4. Using a glove, push blade holder all the
way back. The workpiece must be thinner than
minimum blade extension.
CAUTION! To prevent injury, do not use on
workpieces thicker than the minimum blade
extension at their maximum thickness.
