the lowest position.
Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly
during start-up and stopping.
Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence during all operations.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade.
It
can still cause severe injury.
Never reach around saw blade.
Make sure the blade
is
not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it
run for a while. Watch
for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.
