Safety
3. Rip only workpieces longer than the
diameter of the blade. Do not rip
workpieces that are shorter than the
diameter of the blade being used.
4. Workpieces that extend beyond the
saw table can shift, twist, rise up from the
table, or fall as they are cut. Support
workpiece with table extensions the same
height as the saw table.
5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends
of extensions with sturdy legs or an outrig-
ger.
6. Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or
pulling on workpieces, because these ac-
tions can cause kickback. Use table exten-
sions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece.
It's safer than using your hands.

3450 rpm.
2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter
blades.
3. Use blades for their recommended cut-
ting procedures.
4. Keep blade sharp and clean.
5. Do not overtighten blade nut because

quence because blade can loosen.
