45. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES IN MOUNTING. Do not use blade with incorrect size
holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
46. AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from work piece before
cutting.
47. DO NOT RUN THE SAW WHILE CARRYING IT AT YOUR SIDE.
48. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig.
4 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of board, and Fig. 5 the WRONG way. If the
work piece is short or small, clamp is down.
DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!
49. Use extra caution when making a "Pocket
Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause KICKBACK.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the
saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily
jump backwards over your hand, possibly
causing severe injury.
