2 = .- .)J" work to protect your eyes. hands. face, €3 : : ttodV.

d.Do not do layout, assemble, or set up work on the table while the saw is running.

hWear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply

with ANSI 287.1 (shown on package). Using any power tool can result in foreign objects berng thrown into the eyes, which can result in perma- nent eye damage. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail or catalog stores. Use of glasses or use of goggles not in compliance with ANSI 287.1 could result in severe injury f rom breakaqe of the eve orotection.

For dusty operaticns, wear a face shreld alonq with safety goggles

Use extra caution with larqe, verv small, or awk- ward workpieces

1.Use extra supports (tables. saw horses. etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

2.Do not feed small pieces that require your

finger holding the workpiece to go under the guard area Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep yours l-rands away from the blade.

3.When cutting rrregularly shaped workpieces. plan your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let rt twist. rock or slip while being cut.

4.Properly support round material such as dowel rods. or tubing. They have a tendency

to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite. To avoid this, always use a "V" block, or clamp the workpiece to a miter gauge.

U- To avoid risk of hearing damage. wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
