Always support large workpieces while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Heavy workpiece may cause the table to slip, walk or slide while cutting. Be sure the blade path is free of nails. Inspect for and remove nails from lumber or workpiece before cutting or sanding. Never start the tool when the blade is in contact with the workpiece. Allow the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut. blade in contact with the workpiece on start up will cause it to jump. Use caution when cutting materials with an irregular cross-section or rounds like dowel rods. If possible lay the material on its "flat" side when cutting.
