WARNING!
The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied
by the operator.
DANGER
a.
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
b.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
d.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
