1. On-Off Switch.
CAUTION: Before turning switch "ON", make sure
the blade guard is correctly installed and operating
properly.
The On-Off Switch has a locking feature. This feature is
intended to help prevent unauthorized and possible haz-
ardous use by children and others.
A. To turn saw ON, insert key, stand to either side of
the blade, never in line with it, place finger under
switch lever and pull end of lever out.
After turning switch ON, always allow the blade to
come up to full speed before cutting. Do not cycle
the motor switch on and off rapidly, as this may
cause the sawblade to loosen. In the event this
should ever occur, allow the sawblade to come to a
complete stop and retighten the arbor nut normally,
not excessively. Never leave the saw while the
power is "ON".
B. To turn saw OFF, PUSH lever in. Never leave the
saw until the cutting tool has come to a complete
stop.
C. To lock switch in OFF position, hold switch IN with
one hand, REMOVE key with other hand.
WARNING: For your own safety, lower blade or
other cutting tool below table surface. (If blade is
tilted, return it to vertical, 90°, position.) Always
lock the switch "OFF". When saw is not in use,
remove key and keep it in a safe place. Also, in the
event of a power failure (all of your lights go out)
turn switch off, lock it and remove the key. This will
prevent the saw from starting up again when the
power comes back on.
