If  any  parts  are  damaged  or  missing  do  not  operate   
this product until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed 
this warning could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: 

Do  not  attempt  to  modify  this  product  or  create 
accessories not recommended for use with this product. 
Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could 
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious 
personal injury.

WARNING:

Do  not  connect  to  power  supply  until  assembly  is 
complete.  Failure  to  comply  could  result  in  accidental 
starting and possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:

A  7-1/4  in.  blade  is  the  maximum  blade  capacity  of 
the  saw.  Also,  never  use  a  blade  that  is  too  thick  to 
allow outer blade washer to engage with the flat on the 
spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade 
guards, while thicker blades will prevent blade screw from 
securing blade on spindle. Either of these situations could 
result in a serious accident.
