CAUTION
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES:
SUPPORT LARGE PANELS
Large panels must be supported as shown in Fig. A to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of saw on the
work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
USE RIP FENCE
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT THE WORK PROPERLY AND TO
HOLD THE SAW FIRMLY TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH
COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. FIG. B ILLUSTRATES TYPICAL
HAND SUPPORT OF THE SAW. WHEN OPERATING THE SAW, KEEP
THE CORD AWAY FROM THE CUTTING AREA AND POSITION IT SO
THAT IT WILL NOT BE CAUGHT ON THE WORK PIECE DURING THE
CUTTING OPERATION.
