CHECK DAMAGED pARTS
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to en-
sure that it will operate properly and perform its in-
tended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, mounting and any other con di tions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly replaced.

turer for your model. Accessories that may be suit-
able for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
DON'T FORCE TOOl
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOl
Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job
of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not
intended — for ex ample; don't use circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
DIRECTION OF FEED
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direc-
tion of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER lEAVE TOOl RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
DO NOT AlTER OR MISUSE TOOl
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may re-
sult in dangerous con ditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in gaseous or explo-
sive at mo spheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and may re sult in a dangerous condition.

MAINTAIN TOOlS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
perfor mance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing ac cessories. Inspect tool cords peri-
odically and if damaged, have repaired by author-
ized service facility. Inspect ex tension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Before connecting the tool to a
power source (receptacle, out-
let, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with voltage greater than that spec-
ified for the tool can result in serious injury to the
user — as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt,
DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source
with voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.

STABIlITY OF SAW
Your table saw MUST BE BOLTED securely to a
stand or workbench. In addition, if there is any ten-
dency for the table saw to tip over or move during
certain operations such as cutting long, heavy
boards, use an auxiliary support.
lOCATION
Use the table saw in a well lit area and on a level
surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the op-
erator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in
line with the blade.
KICKBACK
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A "KICKBACK"
occurs when a part of the workpiece binds be-
tween the sawblade and the rip fence or other
fixed object. Workpiece binding the blade due to
misalignment, can also cause kickback. During
kickback, workpiece rises from table and is thrown
toward the operator. Keep your face and body to
one side of the sawblade, out of line with a possi-
ble "KICKBACK".
