To check lower guard, open lower guard by
hand, then release and watch guard closure.
Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing.
Leaving blade exposed
is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious
personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
1.
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots.
Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-
out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating
the blade tips.
2.
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material.
Blades coast after turn off.
3.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
4.
Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

8.
Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
9.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
10.

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline.
12.
Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
