Safety Instructions For Table Saw (continued)

• Find and read all the warning labels found on the saw (shown below).

When Installing Or Moving The Saw

Reduce the Risk of Dangerous Environment.

Use the saw in a dry, indoor place protected from rain.

Keep work area well lighted.

Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for rec- ommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw movement.

Bolt or clamp the saw to firm level surface where there is plenty of room to handle and properly support the workpiece (See “Assembly- Mounting Your Saw” section).

Support the saw so the table is level and the saw does not rock.

Put the saw where neither operator nor bystanders must stand in line with the sawblade.

To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, make sure your fin- gers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or unplug- ging the saw.

Never Stand On Tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting tool. Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might stand on the tool to reach them.

Before Each Use

Inspect your saw.

To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, turn the switch off, unplug the saw, and remove the switch key before raising or remov- ing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the setup, or adjust-

ing anything. Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.

Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, and any other conditions that may affect the way the saw works.
