12 Safety rules

As with all power tools there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operator and his use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. If, however, normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can develop.

-FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW: Learn the saw's applications as well as the specific hazards peculiar to it.

-KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
