Whenever saw is running

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of your
metal saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
1. Before actually cutting with the saw, let it
run for a while. If your saw makes an
unfamiliar
noise
excessively, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart
until finding and correcting the problem.
2. Never confine the piece being cut out.
Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use
length stops against it. It must be free to
move sideways. If confined, it could get
wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
3. Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the blade.
4. Let the blade reach full speed before
cutting.
5. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast
enough to let the blade cut without
bogging down or binding.
6. Before freeing jammed material, release
switch and unplug the saw. Wait for all
moving parts to stop.
7. After finishing a cut, keep holding the
power head down, release the switch,
and wait for all moving parts to stop
before moving your hands.
WARNING: Read the following warning
labels found on the front of the saw.
