Tool Use and Care
•
Use provided clamp to secure and support the
workpiece against the fence.
Holding the work
by hand or against your body is unstable. It allows
for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and
loss of control.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do
not use the tool for purpose not intended - for
example; do not use the saw for slicing meats.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON”
or “OFF”.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments or changing
accessories.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are
less likely to bind and easier to control. When
mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on
the blade matches the direction of the arrow
marked on the tool and that the teeth are also
pointing in the same direction.
•
Inspect tool before use. Ensure that all mov-
ing parts are operating as intended, loose fas-
teners are properly tightened, missing
fasteners are replaced with identical fasteners,
and damaged parts are removed and replaced
with correct service replacement parts.
Acci-
dents may be caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Do not use damaged or worn saw blades.
In-
spect saw blade before use and replace if any
cracking, loose teeth, or excessive wear is pres-
ent.
•
Do not alter or misuse tool.
Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in serious
personal injury.
•
The use of any other accessories not specified
in this manual may create a hazard.
Accessories that may be suitable for one type of
tool, may become hazardous when used on an
inappropriate tool.
Service
•
Tool service must be performed only by qual-
ified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in
misplacing internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Mainte-
nance Instructions may create a hazard.
Safety Rules For Saws
•
To reduce risk of injury, use saw blade rated
1500/min (RPM) or greater.
•
Do not reach in back of the saw blade behind
the fence with either hand to hold down or
support the workpiece, remove cut off scraps,
or for any other reason.
The proximity of the
spinning saw blade to your hand may not be ob-
vious and you may be seriously injured.
•
Always disconnect the power cord from the
power source before making any adjustments
or attaching any accessories.
You may unin-
tentionally start the saw, leading to serious per-
sonal injury.
•
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence. Al-
ways make certain that there is no gap be-
tween the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut.
Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or rock and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. Also, make sure
there are no nails or foreign objects in the work-
piece.
•
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of
all tools, material scraps, etc., except the
work-piece.
Small debris or loose pieces of ma-
terial or other objects that contact the revolving
blade can be thrown with high speed at the oper-
ator.
