SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf which causes excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK. Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES Know your power tool.
