RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean tool.
A LARGE PIECE OF MATERIAL SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED while cutting. To minimize risk of
blade pinching and kickback, always support
long workpieces. Saw may slip, walk or slide
while cutting long or heavy boards.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
•BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE
SAW.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY
while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against
the blade.
NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE
AT A TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the
pieces must be secured to each other with
masking tape or double stick tape to make one
workpiece. Do not put more than one workpiece
on the saw table at a time. Always hold the work
firmly against the table. See page 18.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR
SETUP WORK ON THE TABLE while the

firm, level workbench or table. The most comfort-
