DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All

visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors

contact the tool or extension cord while operating.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is

in operation. Keep floors clean and free of saw- dust.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accesso- ries.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks and master switches or by removing switch keys.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not

force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Use it only the way it was intended.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE

SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is uninten- tionally contacted.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It'ssafer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate the tool.
