ting area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform. It is important to sup-
port the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
f. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut
and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the
saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were spe-
