READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other
basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
PROTECTION:
Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE SPIN-
NING TOOL, DO NOT WEAR:
• LOOSE FITTING GLOVES
• LOOSE CLOTHING
• NECKTIE, JEWELRY
DO:
• TIE BACK LONG HAIR
• ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning,
or has been damaged or broken (such as the
motor switch or other operating control, a safety
device, or the power cord), cease operating im-
mediately until the particular part is properly re-
paired or replaced.
b.Wear safety goggles and a face shield if oper-
ation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during
extended periods of operation. Small loose
pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back
at the operator at excessive speed. This can
usually be avoided by keeping the guard and
spreader in place for all "THROUGH SAWING"
operations (sawing entirely through the work)
AND by removing all loose pieces from the
table with a long stick of wood IMMEDIATELY
after they are cut off.
c. Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for resawing, dadoing, rabbeting or
molding — replace the guard as soon as that op-
eration is completed.
d.NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the
workpiece and related feed or support devices
for the operation planned.
e. NEVER place your face or body in line with the
cutting tool.
• NEVER place your fingers and hands in the path
of the sawblade or other cutting tool. Keep your
fingers and hands at least 6 inches away from
the blade or other cutting tool.
• NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with ei-
ther hand to hold down or support the workpiece,
remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

Additional Safety Rules

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where sudden slip could cause fingers or hand
to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool.
• DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND"
— always use either the rip fence or the miter
gauge to position and guide the work.
• NEVER use the rip fence when crosscutting or
the miter gauge when ripping. DO NOT use the
rip fence as a length stop.
• NEVER hold onto or touch the "free end" of the
workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off, while
power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating.
• Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power
cord when removing the table insert, changing
the cutting tool, removing or replacing the blade
guard, or making adjustments.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides
of the saw table for wider or long workpieces.
• Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materi-
als may be cut on your saw. However, since
these are usually quite hard and slippery, the
anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kick back.
Therefore, be especially attentive to following
proper set-up and cutting procedures for ripping.
Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in
line with a potential kickback.
f. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece,
turn saw "OFF", remove the workpiece from the
sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is
parallel to the table slots or grooves and if the
spreader is in proper alignment with the saw-
blade. If ripping at the time, check to see if rip
fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as
indicated.
g.NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than
one work piece in front of the blade (stacked ver-
tically, or horizontally outward on the table) and
then pushing through sawblade. The blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding
or loss of control and possible injury.
h.DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become trapped inside the blade guard
while the saw is running. This could endanger
your hands or cause a kick back. Turn saw "OFF"
and wait until blade stops.
