• Do not remove small pieces of cutoff material that may
become trapped inside the blade guard while the saw is
running. This could endanger your hands or cause kick-
back. Turn saw OFF and wait until blade stops.
• Use extra care when ripping wood with twisted grain or
wood that is twisted or bowediit may rock on table and
pinch saw blade.

WARNING: Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade with-
out first turning saw OFR
• Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cutoff wheels, friction
wheels (metal slitting blades), wire wheels or buffing
wheels.
USE ONLY ACCESSORIES DESIGNED FOR SAW
• Crosscutting operations are worked more conveniently and
with greater safety if an auxiliary wood facing is attached
to miter gauge using holes provided. However, facing must
not interfere with proper functioning of saw blade guard.
• Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool rotates
toward you when standing in normal operating position.
Also make sure the cutting tool, blade flange and arbor
nut are installed properly. Keep the cutting tool as low as
possible for the operation being performed. Keep all
guards in place whenever possible.
