Workpiece Support
Figures 10 and 12 show proper sawing position. Figures 11 and 13
show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from cutting
area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting area so that
it will not get caught or hung up on the work.
To avoid kickback, DO support board or panel NEAR the cut,
(Fig. 10 and 12). DON’T support board or panel away from the cut
(Fig. 11 and 13). When operating the saw, keep the cord away from
the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on the work
piece.

WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury; Figure 12 illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST-
MENTS! Place the work with its “good” side - the one on which
appearance is most important - down. The saw cuts upward, so any
splintering will be on the work face that is up when you saw it.
