CAUTION: Before turning switch
"ON", make sure the blade guard
is correctly installed and operat-
ing properly.
The On-Off Switch has a locking feature.
This feature is intended to help prevent
unauthorized and possible hazardous use
by children and others.
A.To turn saw ON, insert key, stand to
either side of the blade, never in line
with it, place finger under switch lever
and pull end of lever out.
After turning switch ON, always allow
the blade to come up to full speed
before cutting. Do not cycle the motor
switch on and off rapidly, as this may
cause the sawblade to loosen. In the
event this should ever occur, allow
the sawblade to come to a complete
stop and retighten the arbor nut nor-
mally, not excessively. Never leave
the saw while the power is "ON".
B.To turn saw OFF, PUSH lever in.
Never leave the saw until the cutting
tool has come to a complete stop.
C.To lock switch in OFF position, hold
switch IN with one hand, REMOVE
key with other hand.

Blade Guard
WARNING: For your own safety,
lower blade or other cutting tool
below table surface. (If blade is
tilted, return it to vertical, 90°,
position.) Always lock the switch
"OFF". When saw is not in use,
remove key and keep it in a safe
place. Also, in the event of a
power failure (all of your lights
go out) turn switch off, lock it
and remove the key. This will pre-
vent the saw from starting up
again when the power comes
back on.
