[. . . ] Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. [. . . ] If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. SPECIAL SAFETY RULES It is advised to wear a dusk mask. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Disconnecting your saw will prevent accidental starting which could cause serious injury. Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of the way of saw blade and not in the line of cut. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting. Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 22. 5° increments are marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base. The use of a protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are required. Loosen the base retaining screw with the wrench until the base can be moved.
