RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Contlnued)

•USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize the

risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large panels as shown in figure 9, page 10. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw should be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

•LOWER BLADE GUARD.

,_ WARNING: If lower blade guard must be raised to make a cut, always raise it with the retracting

handle to avoid serious injury. See Figure 21,

Page 15.

•GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release switch immedi- ately if blade binds or saw stalls. Don'tremove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving, See Pages.9 and 10.

•BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE THE DEPTH AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS ARE

TIGHT.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 7-1/4 inches.

AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

NEVER touch the blade or other moving parts during use.

NEVER start a tool when its rotating component is in contact with the workpiece.

NEVER lay a tool down before its moving parts have come to a complete stop.

DO NOT operate this tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. POLARIZED" PLUGS. To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who

may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

,_ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of.work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
