mask if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses. They are not safety
glasses.

the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

reach under the material being cut or into
the blade’s cutting path with your fingers or hand for any
reason.
•

clamped work piece; Never hold onto or bind the free
(scrap) end of the work piece in any operation.

both be installed on the same side of the saw table
to prevent the saw from catching the loose end and kicking
up.
•
Never cut more than one piece at a time.
Do not stack
more than one work piece on the work table at a time.

Only use the correct blades.
Use the correct blade size,
style and cutting speed for the material and the type of
cut. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never
use blade washers or arbor bolts that are defective
or incorrect.

Always keep blades clean, sharp and with sufficient
set.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
