WARNING
It is important to support the work piece properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 1
illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

4. 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. 2 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut
off the end of board, and Fig. 3 the WRONG way. If
the work piece is short or small, clamp it down.
DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

5. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise.
This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious
accidents. (Fig. 4)

for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause
hearing loss.

requirement of the latest revision of ANSI
Standard Z87.1.
8. ALWAYS wear a mask or respirator to protect
yourself from dust or potentially harmful
particles generated during operation.

cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard
has closed and the blade has come to a
complete stop.
10. NEVER touch moving parts.
NEVER place your hands, fingers or other body parts
near the tool's moving parts.
11. NEVER operate without all guards in place.
NEVER operate this tool without all guards or safety

or safety feature before resuming operation of the
tool.
