Follow instructions for tool usage, maintenance, storage, and repair to ensure safety.
Have tool serviced by qualified personnel using identical replacement parts for safety.
Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade; use second hand on auxiliary handle.

Secure the workpiece to a stable platform; do not hold it by hand or leg.
Hold tool by insulated surfaces when cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or cord.
Use a rip fence or straight edge guide when ripping for accuracy and to prevent binding.
Use blades with correct size and shape arbour holes to prevent loss of control.

Understand kickback causes and follow procedures to avoid it, such as firm grip and proper body position.
Check lower guard for free movement and instant closing before each use.
Ensure lower guard spring operates properly; service if sluggish or damaged.
Retract lower guard manually only for special cuts; release immediately once blade enters material.
Ensure lower guard covers blade before placing saw down; be aware of coasting time.
Secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform to prevent loss of control.
Position body to either side of the blade, not in line, to resist kickback.
Inspect lumber for and remove all nails before cutting to prevent damage or injury.
Ensure nothing interferes with the movement of the lower blade guard.

Wait for the motor to reach full speed before starting a cut.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil/grease for a firm grip.
Remain alert at all times, especially during repetitive operations, and be aware of hand positions.
Stay clear of falling end pieces after cutting; they may be hot, sharp, or heavy.
Replace or repair any damaged electrical cords immediately.
Use good condition 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding plugs.
Use adequate wire size (AWG) for cord length and ampere rating to prevent voltage drop.
Be aware of chemicals in dust from construction activities and use safety equipment.
Use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection and work in ventilated areas to reduce dust exposure.
Understand tool symbols for electrical units, safety alerts, and recommended practices.
Support large panels to prevent blade pinching and kickback; avoid sawing overhead.

Do not remove the saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.
Allow blade to reach full speed before contacting material to avoid stalling or kickback.
Never attempt to lift saw when making a bevel cut to prevent blade binding.
Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement during cuts.
If cut goes off line, stop saw, withdraw, and restart on the line to prevent kickback.
Set depth adjustment so one tooth projects below the workpiece.
Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut to avoid kickback.
