Do not leave tool until it comesto a complete stop.4. Do not operate saw without guards in place.Check blade guard for proper closing beforeeach use. Do not operate saw if blade guarddoes not move freely and close instantly.Never clamp or tie the blade guard into theopen position.5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoidcontact with any coasting blade. It can stillcause severe injury.6. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriageto the full rear position after each crosscutoperation.7. Always secure all moving portions beforecarrying the tool.8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head downis for carrying and storage purposes only andnot for any cutting operations.9.
