1. On-Off Switch.

WARNING: Before turning switch “ON”, make sure the blade guard is correctly installed and operating properly to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

The On-Off Switch has a locking feature. This feature is intended to help prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by children and others.

A.To turn saw ON, insert key, stand to either side of the blade, never in line with it, place finger under switch lever and pull end of lever out.

After turning switch ON, always allow the blade to come up to full speed before cutting. Do not cycle the motor switch on and off rapidly, as this may cause the sawblade to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow the sawblade to come to a complete stop and retighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively. Never leave the saw while the power is “ON”.

B.To turn saw OFF, PUSH lever in. Never leave the saw until the cutting tool has come to a complete stop.

C.To lock switch in OFF position, hold switch IN with one hand, REMOVE key with

other hand.

WARNING: For your own safety, lower blade or other cutting tool below table surface. (If blade is tilted, return it to vertical, 90°, position.) Always lock the switch “OFF”. When saw is not in use, remove key and keep it in a safe place. Also, in the event of a power failure (all of your lights go out) turn switch off, lock it and remove the key. This will prevent the saw from starting up again when the power comes back on.
