pieces. Avoid binding the work
against the blade:
- Always hold or clamp your
work down to the saw.
- Do not hold or clamp the work-
piece on both sides of the

cut off piece if you confine the
workpiece on both sides of the
blade.
- Always perform dry runs. Make
sure the saw is unplugged.
Completely set up your saw
and accessory. Pull the blade
and power head through the
full range of motion to check
for interference. The accessory
can be used in a left or right
configuration. Make sure that
your blade, saw guard or motor
does not interfere with the
accessory. Correct any interfer-
ence before use.
- No visible gap should be
present between
