Never reach around a moving saw blade. Clear scrap with a piece of wood 10” or longer, or stop the machine and clear debris with a brush

Should the blade break while in use. Turn off the power and wait for the machine to stop. Immediately notify your instructor.

When backing out of a cut be sure to turn the machine off first to avoid un-tracking the blade.
