Accessories Safety

1. Use only accessories listed in this sec-
tion. Use of any other accessory or attach-
ment might increase the risk of injury to
you or others.
2. Read and follow instructions that come
with accessory.
3. Do not install accessories on both ends
of arbor shaft at same time.
4. Do not use twist drill bits longer than
7" because they can bend and break.
5. Use a spade type drill 1"or smaller in
diameter for drilling only wood or plastic.
6. Do not use reduced shank drills.
7. Remove blade wrenches before turn-
ing saw on.
_, DANGER
Grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off
wheels, or wire wheels can break
explosively and throw pieces. You
can be blinded or receive a life
threatening puncture wound. Do not
use grinding wheels, abrasive or cut
off wheels, or wire wheels.
,_ WARNING
When using accessory shaft, ex-
posed arbor shaft can pull in cloth-
ing, hair or jewelry as it rotates.
Broken bones and severe cuts could
OCCUr.
Follow personal safety instructions.
Locate arbor shaft under radial arm:
lock blade carriage in out-rip posi-
tion, then bevel motor to -90 °.

Information for Dado

1. Put inside loose collar on arbor shaft

first, then install dado. Tighten blade nut

directly against outside surface of dado.

2. Saw arbor is designed for dado up to
13%"wide. Use of wider dado could cause
dado and blade nut to spin off. To make
larger than 13q6"wide cut, take several pas-
ses with dado.
3. To avoid excessive load on motor when
making a 13qCwide cut, limit depth of cut
to W' in one pass.

Information for Edging

Edging is the use of a dado or molding
head in the horizontal position. Edging re-
quires the use of a molding head guard
(see Accessories List) and an auxiliary
fence (see Cutting Aides).
1. Use molding head guard for edging
with molding head and dado blade. Fol-
low instructions that come with guard.
Do not edge with a blade.
,_ DANGER
Edging without a guard can bring
hands and fingers too close to
blade. Hands, fingers and arm could
be cut off. Buy, install, and follow
instructions for molding head guard.
,_ DANGER
Blade cannot be guarded in horizon-
tal position. Edge with guarded
molding head or dado. Do not edge
with blade.
2. Install auxiliary fence (see Cutting
Aides) to allow positioning of cutting tool
behind fence.
3. Whenever possible, edge with arm
locked at indexed 0°miter, so blade car-
riage is more likely to lock firmly.
