8. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding. 9. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hard- ware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
