Safety Instructions

Read and follow all safety instructions.

Personal Safety Instructions

1.Wear safety goggles labeled ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the pack- age. It means the goggles meet impact stan- dards set by the American National Standards Institute. Regular eyeglasses are not safety goggles.

2.Wear close fitting clothes, short sleeved shirts, and non-slip shoes. Tie up long hair. Do not wear gloves, ties, jewelry, loose cloth- ing, or long sleeves. These can get caught in the spinning blade and pull body parts into the blade.

3.Wear dust mask to keep from inhaling fine particles.

4.Wear ear protectors, plugs or muffs if you use saw daily.

5.Keep good footing and balance; do not over-reach.

Work Area Safety Instructions

1.Keep children, pets, and visitors out of work area; they could be hit by a thrown workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of blade.

2.Turn saw off, remove yellow key, and unplug before leaving work area. Do not leave until blade has stopped spinning.

3.Make work area child-proof: remove yel- low key to prevent accidental start-up; store key out of sight and reach; lock work area.

4.Keep floors clean and free of sawdust, wax and other slippery materials.

5.Keep work area well lighted and unclut- tered.

6.Use saw only in dry area. Do not use in wet or damp areas.
