After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the
coasting blade is dangerous.
•
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down position.
The braking action of the saw
may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
