RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Safe operation of this accessory requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual, the operator’s manual for
the table saw and all labels affixed to the tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ KNOW YOUR ACCESSORY. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the product's applications and limitations
as well as the specific potential hazards related to this
product.
■ KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas
and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools
or pieces of wood on the saw while operating.
■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE

tant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations
with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any
danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
