SPECIFIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING THIS SAW.

1. Be sure to hold this tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when using it
for any operation where it is possible that the cutting tool may contact any
hidden wiring or the cord of the tool. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and may cause harm to the operator.

2. Use extra caution when cutting in hard to reach or high places. Be wary of
any possible wires or falling debris that may result from your use of this tool.

3. BE CERTAIN TO KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away from the blades. Do not
reach underneath work while blade is rotating. When the saw is in use, be
sure to keep hands firmly gripped on the tool. Never reach towards or below
the cutting operation. Never use your legs or feet to stabilize the cutting
operation.

CAUTION: blades continue to coast after trigger is released. Never place your
hand on the work surface in front of or behind the saw.

4. The operation of this saw may result in foreign objects being thrown into
your eye, which may result in severe damage. Before beginning any power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield
and a full- face shield when needed. Consider using a Wide Vision Safety
Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
Always use eye protection that is marked to comply with ANSI287.1.

5. To ensure proper usage, always use a sharp blade. This will produce the best
results and minimize poor performance results.
