cutting area and blade.
Keep your second hand on motor housing. If
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut
by the blade. Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of
control. Figures in this manual illustrate typical
hand support of the tool. NEVER place your hand
behind the saw blade since kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards over your hand.
If your application does not allow two-hand
control of the tool, keep your hand, fingers and
body positioned to either side of the saw blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK
could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See
"Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback.")
Advance the blade only in a direction where
the blade teeth are coming up through
the workpiece. "Climb cutting" or feeding the
blade into the material so that the teeth are
descending into the material, will cause the

jump uncontrollably in the direction of this
improper feed.
Be extremely careful when cutting round rods
or when approaching corners or the edge of
the workpiece. The blade can bind on the edge of
the workpiece and cause kickback.
Do not cut along a radius or curved line of cut.
Kickback will occur if a curved cutting motion is
attempted.
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the work.
Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Make sure the
guard moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any other part.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of
debris. Disconnect the plug from power source.
Periodically remove the blade, clean the lower
guard and the hub area, or blow it clean with
compressed air.
Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing the tool
down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
