als for your battery pack and charger.

switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when

KICKBACK
See Figures 4 - 7, pages 13 - 14.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices
such as the following:
 Setting blade depth incorrectly.
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.
 Twisting the blade while making a cut.
 Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade.
 Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
 Forcing a cut.
 Cutting warped or wet lumber.
 Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.
