operations. Never use your hand to secure the

workpiece.

5. Never reach around saw blade.

6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop

before moving workpiece or changing settings.

7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.

8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the

full rear position after each crosscut operation.

9. Always secure all moving portions before carry-

ing 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.

12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage

before operation. Replace cracked or damaged

blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch hard-

ened on blades slows saw and increases poten-

tial 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 back 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. Dam-

age to these parts could result in blade break-

age.

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 work-

piece 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 cut-

ting.

25. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-

thing abnormal.

26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on posi-

tion.

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 SERI-

OUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in the figure.

ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece.

30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-

nect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, water and sharp objects.

31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to

speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece at a

time.

32. Some material contains chemicals which may be

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation

and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety

data.
