12.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. Improperly con- necting the machine to the power source may result in electrocution or fire. Always adhere to local electrical codes.
13.DISCONNECT POWER. Adjusting machine when it is connected to the power source greatly increases the risk of injury from acci- dental startup. Always disconnect power BEFORE doing any work on machine, includ- ing changing blades or other tooling.
14.BLADE CONDITION. Dull or damaged blades require more effort to use, are difficult to con- trol, and increase the risk of injury. Sharpen or replace blades when they become dull or damaged.
15.HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers in the blade path greatly increases the prob- ability of serious injury. Always keep hands or fingers out of the blade path when cutting.
16.CUTTING PROPER MATERIAL. This machine is not designed to cut metal or any material except wood. Attempting to cut other materi- als may exceed the limits of the machine and increase the risk of personal injury.
17.DO NOT FORCE THE MACHINE. To mini- mize your risk of personal injury, work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing small radii.
18.SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a jig to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured workpiece protects your hands and allows you to focus on cutting safely.
19.BLADE REPLACEMENT SAFETY. Besides dis- connecting power when replacing blades, make sure teeth face down toward the table. The force of the cut is always down. Also, make sure the blade is properly ten- sioned after installing so it will not fly off the wheels.
