[A WARNING 1
• To avoid injury, never use the
saw without the cover plate
secure in place. It keeps the
arbor bolt from falling out if it
accidentally loosens, and helps
prevent the spinning blade from
coming off the saw.
• Make sure the collars are clean
and properly arranged. Lower the
blade into the table and check for
any contact with the metal base
or the saw table.
