Unpacking; Assembly - Craftsman 124.33383 Operator's Manual

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-
tion and specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories (refer to page 13).
Use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-
sible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.)
• Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in
place and in proper operating condition.
• Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of
rotation.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at all times
when tool is being used.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to the instructions.
