SAFETY
1.SAW SAFETY BEGINS WITH YOUR LUMBER. Inspect your workpiece carefully before you feed it into the saw. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your workpiece, DO NOT SAW IT!
2.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. Always make sure you have good balance.
3.KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. DO NOT hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard. DO NOT reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
4.FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your saw to a stable, level workbench or table. The best height is waist level.
5.USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the correct blade size, style and cutting speed for the material and type of cut.
6.ALWAYS SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES while cutting to minimize blade pinching and blade break- age. The saw may slip, walk or slide when cutting large or heavy workpieces.
7.DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED

9.BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADES, unplug the saw from the power source and remove the switch safety key.
