Saw Safety Instructions

1.Use guard, pawls and riving knife accord- ing to instructions. Keep them in working order.

2.Routinely check saw for broken or dam- aged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts before using saw. Check new or repaired parts for alignment, binding, and correct installation.

3.Unplug saw before doing maintenance, making adjustments, correcting alignment, or changing blades.

4.Do not force saw. Use saw, blades and accessories only as intended.

5.Have yellow key out and saw switched off before plugging in power cord.

Workpiece Safety Instructions

1.Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic materials. Do not cut metal.

2.Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stack- ing or placing workpieces edge to edge can cause user to lose control of workpiece.

6.Before turning on saw, clear table of all objects except workpiece to be cut and nec- essary fixtures, clamps, or feather-boards.

7.If blade jams, turn saw off immediately, remove yellow key, then free blade. Do not try to free blade with saw on.

8.Turn saw off if it vibrates too much or makes an odd sound. Correct any problem before restarting saw.

9.Do not layout, assemble, or setup work with saw on, or while blade is spinning.

10.Keep saw table clean.

11.Store items away from saw. Do not climb on saw or stand on saw table to reach items because saw can tip over.
