ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
TOOL
1. Be aware that this tool is always in an
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.
4. Don't use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
5. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
6. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
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.
8. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
9. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before opera-
tion.
10. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
11. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the

turn base in the lowest position.
13. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
14. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during
all operations. Never use your hand to secure
the workpiece.
15. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
