GENERAL SAFETY RULES

n NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

n INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.

n INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and

replace if damaged.

nPOLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

nKEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.

nSTAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

nDO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.

nUSE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 12 in.

nBEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST- MENTS ARE SECURE.

nBE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

nNEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.

nNEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING COM- PONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.

nDO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.

nWHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

nUSE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

nFIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT the tool to a workbench or table at approximately hip height.

nKEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with hands and fingers for any reason. Always turn the power off.

nALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.

nALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the workpiece when possible.

nBE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORKPIECE. Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece. Allow motor to come up to full speed before starting cut.

nMAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW ARM (BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN POSITION BE- FORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the miter table by securely tightening the miter lock levers. Lock the saw arm

(bevel function) by securely tightening the bevel lock knob.

nUSE THIS SAW TO CUT WOOD, WOOD PRODUCTS AND SOME PLASTICS ONLY. DO NOT CUT METALS, CERAMICS OR MASONRY PRODUCTS.

nNEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any opera- tion. If a work clamp and length stop are used together, they must both be installed on the same side of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching the loose end and kicking up.

nNEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time.

nNEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND. Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop. Always use the fence.
