Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be
tight
and secure
before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting,
it
may cause bind-
ing and KICKBACK.
Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls
or
other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
NEVER place your hand or fingers
behind the saw. If kickback occurs,
the saw could easily jump backwards
over your hand, possibly causing
severe injury.
