operating condition, because it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Wear eye protection.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.

age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.

7. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-
age to these parts could result in blade break-
age.
