GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For
All
Tools)
1.
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the
tools applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards
peculiar to
it.
2.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and
in
working order.
3.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it
on.
4.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools
in
damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Don’t use tool
in
presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work
area.
7.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF
with
padlocks, master switches, or
by
removing starter keys.
8.
DON‘T FORCE TOOL.
It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it
was designed.
9.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment
to
do a job for which
it
was not designed.
IO.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Wear no loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught
in
moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.
12.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer
than using your hand and
it
frees both hands to operate tool.
13.
DON‘T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15.
DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, when changing accessories such as
blades,
bits,
cutters, and the like.

16.
EXTENSION
CORDS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will
cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in
loss
of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user
-
as well as damage to
the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base
in
the lowest position.
12.
Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly
during start-up and stopping.
13.
Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all

Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it
run for a while. Watch
for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
18.
Wait
until
the blade attains full speed before cutting.
19.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.

Positioning
kerf
boards
This tool
is
provided with kerf boards in the turn base. The kerf boards are factory-adjusted
so
that the saw blade does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf boards
as
follows:
First unplug the tool. Loosen the
all
screws
(2
each on left and right) which secure the
kerf boards. Retighten them to the extent
that the
kerf boards can be easily moved by
hand. Loosen the clamp screw on the arm.
Pull the carriage toward
you
fully and
lower the handle
fully.
Adjust the kerf
boards
so
that the kerf boards just contact
the sides of blade teeth slightly. Tighten
the front screws (do not tighten firmly).
Push the carriage toward the guide fence
fully and adjust the kerf boards
so
that the
kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth slightly. Tighten the rear screws (do not
tighten firmly). After adjusting the kerf boards, tighten the
all
screws securely.
