• Maintain power tools.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control;
• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full
tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
If a cutting accessory contacts a “live” wire, it may cause the
exposed metal parts of the power tool to become“live” and shock the operator.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
DANGER!
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
