General instructions for all power tools (continued)
•
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
•
Use only outdoor extension cords with approved ground connection that is intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
•
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the blade. Always make sure you have good balance.
•
Allow the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut to avoid binding or stalling.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
•
Replacement parts. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a
qualified service technician at an authorized service center.
WARNING
- when servicing use only identical WEN® replacement parts. Use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.
•
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go
under the blade guard. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your
hands and fingers for any reason.
•
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure.
•
Always support large work pieces while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting large or heavy boards.
•
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has stopped.
•
Never start the tool when the blade is in contact with the work piece.
•
Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.
•
Before changing the setup, removing covers, guards or blades, unplug the saw and remove
the switch key.
