personal injury: Read these instructions before operating this product and

save these instructions.

For safe operations:

1. Keep work area clean.

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL ENB077-1

1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating

condition, because it does not have to be

plugged into an electrical outlet.

2. Wear hearing protection.

3. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order.

Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check

operation of lower guard before each use.

Don't use if lower guard does not close briskly

over saw blade.

CAUTION:

If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent,

restricting full return.

4. Do not use blades which are deformed or

cracked.

5. Do not use blades made of high speed steel.

6. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on

the saw blade.

7. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.

Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

8. DANGER:

Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.

Keep hands away from blades. Don't reach

underneath work while blade is rotating. Don't

attempt to remove cut material when blade is

moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

9. Support Large Panels (Fig. 1 & 2).

Large panels must be supported as shown in

Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and

kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of

the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be

rested on the larger portion and the smaller

piece cut off.

10. Use Rip Fence.

Always use a fence or straight edge guide when

ripping.

11. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)

Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and

is driven back towards the operator. Release

switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.

Keep blades sharp. Support large panels as

shown in Fig. 1.

Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

Don't force tool. Stay alert-exercise control.

Don't remove saw from work during a cut while

the blade is moving.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind

the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could

easily jump backwards over your hand,

possibly causing severe injury.

12. Lower guard should be retracted manually only

for special cuts such as “Compound Cuts”.

Raise lower guard by Retracting Lever. As soon

as blade enters the material, lower guard must

be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard

should operate automatically.

13. Adjustments.

Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjust-

ments are tight.

14. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.

Don’t use blades with incorrect size holes.

Never use defective or incorrect blade washers

or bolts.

To avoid kickback, do support board or panel near the

cut.
