nKEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.

nREMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

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

nDO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

nKEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visi- tors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.

nMAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter keys.

nDON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.

nUSE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not intended.

nUSE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result- ing in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

nDRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

nALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

nSECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

nDON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

nMAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instruc- tions for lubricating and changing accessories.

nDISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.

nAVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.

nUSE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may risk injury.

nNEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

nCHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

nUSE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade or cutter only.

nNEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

nPROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

nPROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

nDO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

nUSE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and so marked.

nALWAYS KEEP THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER (SPLITTER) IN PLACE and in working order.

nKEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

nKEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath
