Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
Guard Against Kickback.
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards
the operator. Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Keep
blades sharp. Support large panels as shown in Fig. 1. Use fence or straight
edge guide when ripping. Don't force tool. Stay alert exercise control. Don't
remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.
Lower Guard. Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.
Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting. Don't use blades with incorrect size
holes. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
When operating the saw, keep the
cord away from the cutting area
and position
it
so that
it
will not
be caught on the workpiece
during the cutting operation.
Operate with proper hand sup-
port, proper work support, and
supply cord routing away from the
work area.

is extremely dangerous
and can lead to serious accidents.
