"Remember, saw-trimmers are designed to, and will, cut anything coming in contact with the fast revolving Saw Blade. Keep the Saw Guard down and the fingers clear of the Blade when the saw is in operation. Turn off the power when the macine is not in use. Safety first. Always, safety first." - C. B. Nelson Company. Instruction Book: Cost Cutter Saws.
