SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES (continued)
6
- DANGER! — Keep hands and body away from and to the side of the blade. Contact with blade will result in
serious injury.
- WARNING! — To reduce the risk of injury, check lower guard. It must close instantly! Hold saw with
both hands. Support and clamp work. Wear eye protection.
Additional Specific Safety Rules:
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could
cause the saw to jump backwards. (See "Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback.")

Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work.

Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard and make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.

When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance for blade binding.

Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

Never use damaged or incorrect blade washer or bolts. The blade washer and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
