[]
work or around or over the blade while blade is rotat-
ing. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade
is moving.
BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.
[] NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
[] INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,
have repaired by a qualified service technician at
an authorized service facility. The conductor
with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor
to a live terminal. Repair or
replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay
constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away
from the rotating blade.
[] INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY
and
replace if damaged.
[] GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle.
[] CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN
or service
personnel if the grounding instructions
are not com-
pletely understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool
is properly grounded.
[] USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL
DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
[] DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided, if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
[] KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL
AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean tool.
[] STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
[] DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
[] USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or
blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maxi-
mum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
[] BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST=
MENTS ARE SECURE.
[] BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect
for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
[] NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
[] NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTAT-
iNG COMPONENT
IS IN CONTACT WiTH THE
WORKPIECE.
[] DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDiCATiON.
[] WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
[] USE ONLY RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES
listed
in this manual or addendums.
Use of accessories
that are not listed may cause the risk of personal
injury. Instructions
for safe use of accessories
are
included
with the accessory.
[] DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is
tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece
before connecting to power supply.
[]
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK.
Kickback occurs
[]
when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven
back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into
the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out
[]
of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade
binds or stalls.
[] USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge
guide when ripping.
[] SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade
pinching and kickback, always support large panels.
REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES
before transporting
saw. Failure to do so can result in
an accident causing possible serious personal injury.
ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE/
SPREADER/SPLITTER,
AND ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS on all "through-sawing"
operations. Through-
sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece as in ripping or
cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-
kickback pawls down, and the riving knife/spreader/
splitter properly aligned to the saw blade.
