OPERATIONAL Controls and ADJUSTMENTS

Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:

1.ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing, and respiratory equipment.

2.Blade is tight.

3.Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.

4.If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.

5.The blade guard is properly attached and the anti-kick teeth are functioning.

6.ALWAYS inspect the guard and splitter for proper alignment operation and clearance with saw blade.

Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the likelihood of injury.

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Before connecting the radial arm saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the guard and splitter for proper operation alignment and clearance with saw blade. Personal injury may result.

If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise, or if it vibrates excessively, cease operating immmediately until the source has been located and the problem corrected.
