6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be

kept safe distance from work area.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

8. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear 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. DO NOT 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. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

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 appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

liquids or gases.

wheel installed.

4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.

5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface) and hex nut before installing the blade. Poor installation may cause vibration/wobbling or slippage of the blade.

6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing operations. Always assemble and install the blade guard following the step by step instructions out-lined in this manual. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through

Not Recommended

the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.

7. Immediately reattach the guard and spreader after completing an operation which requires removal of the guard.

8. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign material from the workpiece before operation.

9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the table before the switch is turned on.

10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.

11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.

12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in

line with the path of the saw blade.

13. Make sure the blade is not contacting the spreader or workpiece before the switch is turned on.

14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

15. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running. Disconnect tool before making any adjustments.

16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces to keep your hands and fingers well away from the blade.

17. Pay particular attention to instructions for reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the workpiece from the tool back towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard in place and operating properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.

18. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge.

19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw blade has completely stopped.

20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.

21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or touch the blade guard while the blade is running.

22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece BEFORE beginning to cut.

23. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.

24. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

25. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that guard hood is down and flat against sawtable before plugging in the tool.

• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and

the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.

• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is

running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.

• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is

running.

• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of

the saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.

• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous

kickbacks may occur.

• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and

push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces, or when the dado head is hidden from view while cutting.

Work helpers

Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of "work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with any part of the body.
