Observe and follow correct direction of feed and do not feed the material too quickly.
Hold the work firmly against the table. Feed work into a blade against the teeth of the
blade. Feeding material tool forcefully may cause blade to snap.
Use caution when cutting materials with an irregular cross-section or round surface,
like dowel rods. If possible lay the material on its “flat” side when cutting. For round
stock use a “V” block to support the material. Wavy material like molding will tend to rock
and may bind while cutting. Round material will tend to roll while being cut and the blade may
“bite” and grab it from your control.
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has stopped. Never touch the blade
or other moving parts during use. Contacting the blade or other moving mechanism may
cause injury.
Wear eye protection and respiratory protection.
Know how to shut off the tool in an emergency.
Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Grounding required.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Tool Use
Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Use the right tool. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don’t used tool for purpose not intended - for example, don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
Tool Care
Do not alter or misuse the tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification
not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
Avoid gaseous areas. Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere.
Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically
and if damaged, have them repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power
source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the
user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
