that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing loss of control.
• BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.

• WHEN SERVICING
use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
• USE 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.
• DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS.

before connecting to power supply.
• DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (gained from frequent use of your saw) TO CAUSE A
CARELESS MISTAKE.
Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.Use extra caution and keep your attention on your operation when making repetitive cuts.
Reduce the monotony of operations by frequently taking breaks, cleaning up saw dust, or checking the
tool condition.

and in good working order. Blade guard must be in place for all through
cut operations. Reinstall the blade guard immediately after finishing any non-through cut operations
which require removal of the blade guard.

Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven
back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay
out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.

Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
• USE AN AUXILIARY FENCE IN CONTACT WITH THE TABLE TOP WHEN RIPPING
WORKPIECES LESS THAN 5/64" (2 MM) THICK.
A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence
and create a kickback.
• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS.
To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large
panels.

before transporting saw. Failure to do so can
result in an accident causing possible serious personal injury.
