Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool 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 11).
Use of improper accessories
increases the 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.) Do not remove jammed or cut off
pieces until the saw is turned off, unplugged and the
blade has stopped.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
Safety goggles are available through your Sears catalog.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a
claim must be filed with carrier. Check for complete-
ness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.

IMPORTANT: Table is coated with a protectant. To
ensure proper fit and operation, remove coating.
Coating is easily removed with mild solvents, such as
mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid getting solution
on paint or any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents
may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water on
paint, plastic or rubber components. After cleaning,
cover all exposed metal surfaces with a light coating of
oil. Paste wax is recommended for table top.
WARNING:
Never use highly volatile solvents. Non
flammable solvents are recommended to avoid possible
fire hazard.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt assembly if parts are miss-
ing. Use operator's manual to order replacement parts.
