> Before using the tool on an actual work piece, let it run for a while. Watch for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
> The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.
> Replace table insert when worn.
> NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running. Disconnect tool before
making any adjustments.
> Use a push stick when required. Push sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow
work pieces to keep your hands and fingers well away from the blade.
> Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
Pay particular attention to instructions for reducing risk of KICKBACK.
>
KICKBACK is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade.
KICKBACK causes the ejection of the work piece from the tool back towards
the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence
parallel to t he blade, by keeping the riving knife and blade guard in place and
operating properly, by not releasing the work piece until you have pushed it all
the way pa st the blade, and by not ripping a work piece that is twisted or warped
or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
> Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands to
support or guide the work piece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge.
NEVER reach around or over saw blade. NEVER reach for a work piece until
>
the saw blade has completely stopped.
> Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as possible when cutting hard
work pieces. Do not bend or twist work piece while feeding. If you stall or jam
the blade in the work piece, turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool.Then
clear the jam.
NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade or touch the blade guard while
>
the blade is running.
Knock out any loose knots from work piece BEFORE beginning to cut.
>
> Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
> When using the tool indoors, always connect the tool to an external dust
extraction system. Switched on the dust extraction system before starting the
tool.
> The guard can be lifted during work piece setup and for ease of cleaning.
Always make sure that guard hood is down and flat against sawtable before
plugging in the tool.
