a power tool Do not use a tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol

or medication A lack of attention while operating power tools could result in seri-

ous personal injury,

2. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, Keep your hair, cloth-

ing and gloves away from moving parts, Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair could

get caught in moving parts. Roll long sleeves above the elbow. Rubber gloves and

non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors

3. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is "OFF" before plugging

in Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the

switch "ON" invites accidents

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS OR WRENCHES BEFORE TURNING ON THE

TOOL. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool could

result in personal injury

5. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times, Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations,

0. DO NOT STAND ON TOOL OR ITS STAND. Serious injury may occur if the tool

is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted Do not store materials on

or near the tool such that is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach

them,

7. USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYSWEAR EYE PROTECTION. Dust masks,

safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate condi-

tions Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT

safety glasses, These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87,1 requirements,

NOTE: Approved glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on them

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL MEASURES TO SECURE AND SUP-

PORT THE won K PIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM. Holding the work piece by

hand or against your body is unstable and could lead to a loss of control.

2. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. Use the correct tool for your application The correct

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not

use the tool for purpose for which it was not intended.

3. DO NOT USE TOOL IF THE SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON OR OFF. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired

4. DISCONNECTTHE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING

ANY ADJUSTMENTS, CHANGING ACCESSORIES OR STORING THE TOOL.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally

5. KEEP CUTTING TOOLS SHARP AND CLEAN. Properly maintained tools, with

sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control, When mounting

saw blades be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the ar-

row marked on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in the same direction,

6. INSPECT THE GUARDS BEFORE USING A TOOL. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

and in working order, Never operate the tool with any guard or cover removed

Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use,

WORK AREA

1. KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it

is in operation

2. DO NOT OPERATE POWERTOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH

AS INTHE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Power

tools create sparks, which could ignite dust or fumes

3. KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN ANDWSITORS AWAYWHILE OPERATING

A POWER TOOL. Distractions could cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. BEFORE PLUGGING INTHETOOL, BE CERTAINTHE OUTLETVOLTAGE

SUPPLIED iS COMPATIBLE WlTHTHE VOLTAGE MARKED ONTHE NAME-

PLATE WITHIN 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified on the

nameplate carl result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.

2. GROUNDING TOOLS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THREE-PRONG PLUG (THE

GROUNDING BLADE ISTHE LONGEST OFTHE 3 BLADES). This plug will fit

into a three-hole electrical receptacle• Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug

does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruc-

tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is

properly grounded

3. AVOID BODY CONTACTWITH GROUNDED SURFACES SUCH AS PIPES,

RADIATORS, RANGES AND REFRIGERATORS. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded

4. DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never use the cord to carry the loci or pull the plug

from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat. oil. sharp edges or moving parts

Replace damaged cords immediately Damaged cords increase the risk of electric

shock

5. WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL OUTSIDE, USE AN OUTDOOR EXTEN-

SION CORD MARKED "W-A" OR "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use

and reduce the risk of electric shock.

12. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN GOOD CONDITION. When using

an exlension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your tool

will draw An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. A wire gauge size (AW G.) of at least 14 is recommend-

ed for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord

13.THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood products can be injurious

to your health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for

proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible
