on/off switch immediately. Unplug the saw and move the cord to prevent it from

hanging up again.

injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it replaced before using the

saw again.

reach full speed, it could cause the saw to kickback towards you, resulting in

serious injury.

rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.

A DANGER: When sawing through the workpiece, the lower blade guard

does not cover the blades.The blades are exposed on the under side of the

workpiece. ALWAYS keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting area.

in serious injury.

After completing your cut, release the on/off switch and allow the blades to come to a

complete stop. DO NOT remove the saw from the workpiece while the blades

are moving.

A CAUTION: Whenever you lift your saw from the workpiece, the blades are

exposed on the under side of the saw until the lower blade guard closes. ALWAYS

MAKE SURE that the lower blade guard is closed before setting the saw down on

work surface.
