• Setting blade depth incorrectly.
• Sawing into knots or nails in the
workpiece.
• Twisting the blade while making a cut.
• Making a cut with a dull, gummed up or
improperly set blade.
• Supporting the workpiece incorrectly
(fig 4).
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.
• Attempting to cut with blade at less than full speed.

INCORRECT SUPPORT
WARNING!
• If the blade comes in contact with the workpiece before it
reaches full speed, it could cause the saw to “kickback” towards
you, which could result in serious injury.
