ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained

from repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide

compound saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely

or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid

contact with any coasting blade. It can still

cause severe injury.

Do not operate saw without guards in place.

Check blade guard for proper closing before each

use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not

move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or

tie the blade guard into the open position.

4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The

workpiece must be secured firmly against the

turn base and guide fence with a vise during

all operations. Never use your hand to secure

the workpiece.

5. Never reach around saw blade.

Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop

before moving workpiece or changing settings.

Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.

To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the

full rear position after each crosscut operation.

9. Always secure all moving portions before

carrying the tool.

10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down

is for carrying and storage purposes only and

not for any cutting operations.

11.

Do not use the tool in the presence of

flammable liquids or gases.

The electrical

operation of the tool could create an explosion and

fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases.

12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or

damage before operation. Replace cracked or

damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and

increases potential for kickback. Keep blade

clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning

it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or

kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.

13.

While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.

KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the

workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw

blade is driven rapidly towards the operator. Loss

of control and serious personal injury can result. If

blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do

not continue to cut and release switch immediately.

14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

15.

Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage

to these parts could result in blade breakage.

16.

Make sure that the turn base is properly

secured so it will not move during operation.

Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a

stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool

where operator positioning would be awkward.

17.

For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,

etc. from the table top before operation.

18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

19. Make sure the shaft lock is released before

the switch is turned on.

20. Be sure that the blade does not contact the

turn base in the lowest position.

21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw

moves up or down slightly during start-up and

stopping.

22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

23. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or

wobbling that could indicate poor installation

or a poorly balanced blade.

24. Wait until the blade attains full speed before

cutting.

25. Stop operation immediately if you notice

anything abnormal.

26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"

position.

27. Be alert at all times, especially during

repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be

lulled into a false sense of security. Blades

are extremely unforgiving.

28. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

29.

NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade with

left hand or vice versa. This is called cross-armed

cutting and exposes user to risk of SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY as shown in the figure.

ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece.
