15. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
16. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
17. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
18. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
19. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
21. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
22. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
23. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
24. Be alert at all times, especially during repeti-
tive, monotonous operations. Do not be lulled
into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
25. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
26. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade
with left hand or vice versa. This is called
cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk
of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown
in the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure
workpiece.
