Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation do not
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, the
material should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same height
to keep the material level.
Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Guide fences
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make
sure that the upper fence is secured firmly.
WARNING:
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part
of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the upper and lower
fences when fully lowering and raising the handle in any position
and while moving the carriage through its full range of travel. If the
tool or blade makes contact with the fence this may result in kickback or
unexpected movement of the material and serious personal injury.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Insert the upper fence into the hole on
the lower fence and tighten the clamping screw.
