2. General Safety Information

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when operating the saw.
• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Ensure the power cord is in good condition and positioned to avoid tripping hazards or contact with the cutting blade.
• Always unplug the saw from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Maintain a firm grip on the saw with both hands during operation.
• Never reach underneath the workpiece while the saw is operating.
• Allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
• Avoid cutting small pieces that cannot be securely clamped.
• Do not force the saw. Let the blade do the work.
• Be aware of kickback. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
