1. Wear eye protection.

2. Don’t use the tool in presence of flam-

mable liquids or gases.

3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive

cut-off wheel installed.

4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or

damage before operation. Replace cracked

or damaged blade immediately.

5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially

the installing surface) and hex nut before

installing the blade. Poor installation may

cause vibration/wobbling or slippage of

the blade.

6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for

every operation for which it can be used,

including all through sawing operations.

Always assemble and install the blade guard

following the step by step instructions out-

lined in this manual. Through sawing opera-

tions are those in which the blade cuts

completely through the workpiece as in

ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the

tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the

blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any

irregular operation of the blade guard

should be corrected immediately.

7. Immediately reattach the guard and

spreader after completing an operation which

requires removal of the guard.

8. Do not cut metals such as nails and

screws.Inspect for and remove all nails,

screws and other foreign matter from the

workpiece before operation.

9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc.

from the table before the switch is turned on.

10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.

11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw

blade.

12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to

stand in line with the path of the saw

blade.

13. Make sure the blade is not contacting

the spreader or workpiece before the

switch is turned on.

14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let

the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration

or wobbling that could indicate poor instal-

lation or a poorly balanced blade.

15. NEVER make any adjustments while

tool is running. Disconnect tool before

making any adjustments.

16. Use a push stick when required. Push

sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow

workpieces to keep your hands and fingers

well away from the blade.

17. Pay particular attention to instructions for

reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sud-

den reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned

saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of

the workpiece from the tool back towards the

operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERI-

OUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS

by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip

fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the

spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard

in place and operating properly, by not releas-

ing the workpiece until you have pushed it all

the way past the blade, and by not ripping a

workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not

have a straight edge to guide along the

fence.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
