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 15).
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.) Do not remove summed 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.
