The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

•KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications

and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

•DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON- MENT. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet loca-

tions, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

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

•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 tool or extension cord while operating.

•KEEP THE 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.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor- mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

•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.

•DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose cloth- ing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are recommended. Also wear protec- tive hair covering to contain long hair.

•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 unintentionally contacted.
