• Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other moving parts. Do not
overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
• Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.
• Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep the blade sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
• Check the saw blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use a cracked or dull blade or one with missing teeth. Make sure
the blade is securely locked on the arbor.
• Keep hands clear of the blade area. Do not reach past the blade to clear parts or scrap with the saw blade running. Never
saw freehand. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to contact the
blade.
• Never cut wood with loose knots or embedded with nails or other foreign material on its surface.
• Do not attempt to cut twisted, warped, bowed or "in wind" stock unless one edge has been jointed prior to sawing.
• Do not attempt to cut long or wide boards unsupported where spring or weight could cause the board to shift position.
• Always use the riving knife, blade guard, push stick, and other safety devices whenever possible. For applications such as
dadoing or molding where the blade guard cannot be used, use feather boards, fixtures, and other safety devices and use
extreme caution. Reinstall the riving knife and blade guard immediately after completing the operation that required their
removal.
• Check that the blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the left side of the machine
• Never leave the machine unattended while it is running or with the power on.
• Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
• Always disconnect the machine from the power source before servicing or changing accessories such as blades, or before
performing any maintenance or cleaning, or if the machine will be left unattended.
• Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord.
• Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a three-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole
receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
• Do not use this machine for anything other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, KMS Tools and Equipment
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from that use.
