IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Warning: Failure to follow the following safety precautions may result in serious injury. 

 

KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN.  

Cluttered benches and workstations invite accidents 

and create potential fire hazards.  Floors must be kept clean and free from oil, wax, 
sawdust or other debris.  Promote cleanliness and reduce accidents and fire hazards. 
 

CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT.  

Keep alert to potential hazards in the 

work environment.  Do not use electrical machinery in damp or wet locations.  Keep 
machinery clear of the presence of highly combustible materials, dust, flammable 
liquids, fumes, vapors and gases. 
 

WEAR PROPER APPAREL.  

Do not wear loose fitting clothing, gloves, neckties or 

jewelry.  They can be caught in moving parts.  Non-skid footwear is recommended.  
Wear eye, face, ear, respiratory and body protection equipment appropriate for 
operating environment.  Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.  Roll long 
sleeves up above elbows when operating the saw. 
 

USE SAFETY GLASSES.  

Eye protection is required at all times when using this 

machine. 
 

DON’T ABUSE POWER CORD.  

Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. 

 

DON’T FORCE TOOLS.  

Machinery performance will remain at higher and safer levels 

if it is not pushed beyond the limits of its capability. 
 

SECURE ALL WORK.  

Use clamps, vices, fixtures or jigs to hold work when it’s 

practical.  It’s safer than using your hands and it frees both of your hands to operate the 
machine.  Use a push block to hold or guide work when working close to the cutting 
tool. 
 

DON’T OVERREACH.  

Keep all hands well away from moving parts; saw blades and 

other cutting tools.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 
 

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.  

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safe 

performance.  Follow instructions for maintenance and changing accessories.  Keep 
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.  Damaged parts should be inspected 
before further use of the tool.  Check alignment of all moving parts.  Look for binding of 
moving parts, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may affect machine 
operation.  Any part or guard that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced 
prior to further use. 
 

DISCONNECT MACHINE.

  Make sure machine is unplugged from it’s power source 

before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades. 
 

NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.

  Before leaving machine, turn 

the power off.  Do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
