in­OFF­position­before­reconnecting­to­avoid­an­
unexpected­or­unintentional­start.
INTENDED USE.­Only­use­the­machine­for­its­
intended­purpose­and­only­use­recommended­
accessories.­Never­stand­on­machine,­modify­
it­ for­ an­ alternative­ use,­ or­ outfit­ it­ with­ non-
approved­accessories.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected­ movement­
during­ operations­ greatly­ increases­ the­ risk­ of­
injury­and­loss­of­control.­Verify­machines­are­
stable/secure­ and­ mobile­ bases­ (if­ used)­ are­
locked­before­starting.
FORCING MACHINERY.­Do­not­force­machine.­
It­will­do­the­job­safer­and­better­at­the­rate­for­
which­it­was­designed.
GUARDS & COVERS.­Guards­and­covers­can­
protect­ you­ from­ accidental­ contact­ with­ mov-
ing­ parts­ or­ flying­ debris.­ Make­ sure­ they­ are­
properly­ installed,­ undamaged,­ and­ working­
correctly­before­using­machine.
REMOVING TOOLS.­ Never­ leave­ adjustment­
tools,­ chuck­ keys,­ wrenches,­ etc.­ in­ or­ on­
machine—especially­near­moving­parts.­Verify­
removal­before­starting!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.­ Keep­ proper­ foot-
ing­ and­ balance­ at­ all­ times­ when­ operating­
machine.­ Do­ not­ overreach!­ Avoid­ awkward­
hand­positions­that­make­workpiece­control­dif-
ficult­or­increase­the­risk­of­accidental­injury.
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do­ not­ use­
machinery­ in­ wet­ locations,­ cluttered­ areas,­
around­flammables,­or­in­poorly-lit­areas.­Keep­

APPROVED OPERATION.­ Untrained­ operators­
can­ be­ seriously­ hurt­ by­ machinery.­ Only­ allow­
trained­ or­ properly­ supervised­ people­ to­ use­
machine.­ When­ machine­ is­ not­ being­ used,­ dis-
connect­ power,­ remove­ switch­ keys,­ or­ lock-out­
machine­to­prevent­unauthorized­use—especially­
around­children.­Make­workshop­kid­proof!
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep­ children­
and­bystanders­a­safe­distance­away­from­work­
area.­Stop­using­machine­if­children­or­bystand-
ers­become­a­distraction.
FEED DIRECTION.­Unless­otherwise­noted,­feed­
work­ against­ the­ rotation­ of­ blades­ or­ cutters.­
Feeding­in­the­same­direction­of­rotation­may­pull­
your­hand­into­the­cut.
SECURING WORKPIECE.­ When­ required,­ use­
clamps­ or­ vises­ to­ secure­ workpiece.­ A­ secured­
workpiece­protects­hands­and­frees­both­of­them­
to­operate­the­machine.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never­ leave­
machine­running­while­unattended.­Turn­machine­
off­and­ensure­all­moving­parts­completely­stop­
before­walking­away.
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION.­A­machine­that­
is­ not­ properly­ maintained­ may­ operate­ unpre-
dictably.­ Follow­ all­ maintenance­ instructions­ and­
lubrication­ schedules­ to­ keep­ machine­ in­ good­
working­condition.­Regularly­inspect­machine­for­
loose­bolts,­alignment­of­critical­parts,­binding,­or­
any­ other­ conditions­ that­ may­ affect­ safe­ opera-
tion.­ Always­ repair­ or­ replace­ damaged­ or­ mis-
adjusted­parts­before­operating­machine.­
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If­ at­ any­ time­
you­ are­ experiencing­ difficulties­ performing­ the­
