SUGGESTIONS AND WARNINGS:
• Do not touch the saw blade when cutting.
• During saw operation, wear safety glasses but do not wear gloves.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time.
• Always hold the workpiece down on the table.
• Do not jam any workpieces.
• Do not try to slow the blade down by pushing the work piece against the saw blade from the side.
• When straight cutting against the fence, use a push stick.
• Use a work support when cutting long stock to avoid pieces from falling down after the cut has
been completed.
• Use a dust collector to minimize sawdust.
• When cutting round stock, make sure the piece is as secure as possible.
• Before starting, check that the saw blade and the upper and lower blade guides are in proper
working order.
• Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Assume the correct working position (the blade’s teeth should be pointing towards the operator).
• Take all necessary precautions to avoid kickback during operation.

NOTE: A 0° cut is a straight cut that is perpendicular to the blade.
