After installing the saw blade, confi rm that the spindle lock has been returned to the retract position before
using the power tool (see Fig. 2).

Although it was adjusted before shipment, carefully check the height of the saw blade. Confi rm that the saw
blade can be lowered 13/32" to 7/16" (10mm to 11mm) below the table insert. For details, see the section on
"Checking the saw blade lower limit position".

To prevent overheating, accidental stopping or intermittent operation, confi rm that the power cord plug fi ts
properly in the electrical receptacle and does not fall out after it is inserted. Repair or replace the receptacle if
it is faulty.
9. Confi rm the tool's power cord is not damaged.
Repair or replace the power cord if an inspection indicates that it is damaged
10. Eye protection
Always wear eye protection with side shields that meets the requirements of ANSI Standard Z87.1. Ordinary
eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection because they do not contain impact resistant safety glass.
WARNING:
11. Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake which will typically stop the blade within 5 seconds after the trigger
switch is released.
Occasionally, there will be a delay in the brake engaging which will result in a longer blade stopping time. On
rare occasions, the brake may not engage at all and the saw blade will coast to a stop.
12
Never connect the power tool unless the available AC power source is of the same
voltage as that specifi ed on the nameplate of the tool.
Never connect this power tool to a DC power source.
If the power cord is connected to the power source with the trigger switch turned
ON the power tool will start suddenly and can cause a serious accident.
Lower guard is designed to protect the operator from coming into contact
with the saw blade during operation of the tool.
Always check that the lower guard moves smoothly and covers the saw
blade properly.
Lower guard
NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL if the lower guard does not function smoothly.
Operating the tool without wearing proper eye protection may result in serious
injury.
