SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
•
Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.
•
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not
expose power tools to rain.
•
Work area should be properly lighted.
•
Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool. Three-
prong plug should be plugged directly into properly grounded,
three-prong receptacle.
•
Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
•
Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
•
Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting procedures.
•
Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
•
Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
•
Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
parts list provided to order replacement parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
•
Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
•
Disconnect tool when changing blades.
•
Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch is in the
OFF position before plugging in.
•
Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
•
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
•
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
•
Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
•
Use recommended accessories (refer to page 23). Use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•
Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
•
Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply
into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.)
•
Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in place and in
proper operating condition.
•
Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of rotation.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator com-
mon sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is completely
assembled according to the instructions.

ASSEMBLE STAND
Refer to Figures 3 and 4, pages 3 and 4.
•
Place the long and short frame pieces on the floor. Lay out the
pieces in a rectangle with the long and short frames opposite
to each other.
•
Assemble the legs to the outside of the frames using carriage
bolts and nuts.
NOTE:
Leg set that is stamped ‘A’ goes in diagonally opposing cor-
ners and the plain set goes in other two corners. Leg ‘A’ must be
installed with short brace on right and long brace on left in order
for the stand to be square and level (see Figure 4, page 4).
•
Leave nuts and bolts finger tight for now.
