" Saw spindle
Always secure work to prevent
workpiece movement during cut.
Do not try to force saw back on line
if your cut begins to go off line. This
can cause kickback. Stop saw,
withdraw from cut and start a new
cut on line.
Do not back up a rotating blade in
the cut. Twisting the saw can cause
the back edge of the blade to dig
into the material, climb out of the
work and run back toward the
operator.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
Never pull the saw backwards
through the kerf while the saw blade
is still rotating.
