Failure to do so may result in seriouspersonal injury and cause damage to the tooland/or the workpiece.• After a cutting operation do not raise the bladeuntil it has come to a complete stop. The raisingof a coasting blade may result in serious personalinjury and damage to the workpiece.• When cutting a workpiece that is longer thanthe support base of the saw, the materialshould be supported the entire length beyondthe support base and at the same height tokeep the material level. Proper workpiecesupport will help avoid blade pinch and possiblekickback which may result in serious personalinjury.
