

Never adjust the wire brush or remove chips while the saw blade is still

running. It is extremely dangerous if hands or clothing are caught by the
running blade.



Stop the saw blade before you clean the machine. It is dangerous if hands or

clothing are caught by the running blade.



Never start the saw blade unless the workpiece has been clamped firmly. If

the workpiece is not securely clamped, it will be forced out of the vise during
cutting.



Take preventive measures when cutting thin or short pieces from the work to

keep them from falling. It is dangerous if the cut pieces fall.



Use roller tables at the front and rear sides of the machine when cutting long

work. It is dangerous if the work piece falls off the machine.



Turn off the shop circuit breaker switch before performing maintenance on

the machine. Post a sign indicating the machine is under maintenance.
