General Safety Rules

WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.

Double Insulation

If saw is of double-insulated construction, read the following instructions.

This symbol represents double insulated construction. Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

POLARIZED PLUGS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment 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 into 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.

Important Safety Instructions

•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK AND OTHER INJURIES, use all components of the guarding system (blade guard assembly, riving knife and anti-kickback) for every operation for which they can be used including all thru-cutting.

•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool on. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.

•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

•DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to avoid tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in danger.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.

•MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. The unauthorized start-up of a machine by a child or visitor may result in injury.

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

•USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.

•DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury. Do not attempt to retrieve materials near the blade on the saw table while the blade is spinning.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly maintained blades and machines can further damage the blade or machine and/or cause injury.

•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.The following table 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.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

Ampere Rating		Volts	Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
Ampere Rating		120 V	25 (7.6)	50 (15.2)	100 (30.5)	150 (45.7)
		240 V	50 (15.2)	100 (30.5)	200 (61.0)	300 (91.4)
More	Not More			AWG
Than	Than			AWG
Than	Than
0	6		18	16	16	14
6	10		18	16	14	12
10	12		16	16	14	12
12	16		14	12	Not Recommended

•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.

•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.

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps to hold work when practical (such as when using a zero clearance insert/throat plate). It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

•TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
