clamped to prevent slipping. Always hold the saw in front of you and
away from your body. Keep your hands and feet well away from the work

Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed. If
the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious

Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a
vice or attach to the workbench with clamps.
