work or around or over the blade while blade is
rotating, Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
• BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.
• NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
• INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,
have repaired by a qualified servicetechnician at
an authorized service facility. The conductor with
insulation havTngan outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-ground-
ing conductor. If repairor replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary,do not connect the equip-
ment-grounding conductor to a liveterminal. Repair
or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay
constantly aware of cord location and keep it we]laway
from the rotating blade.
• INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
• GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle.
• CHECK WITH AQUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service
personnel if the grounding instructionsare not com-
pletely understoodor if indoubt as to whether thetool
iS propedy grounded.
• USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool'splug.
• DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not r_the
outlet, have the proper outlet installedby a qualified
electrician.
• KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL
AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing, Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solventsto clean tool.
• STAYALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
• DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorizedservice center.
• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or
blade bolts that are defective or incorrect.The maxi-
mum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 ram).
• BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST-
MENTS ARE SECURE.
• BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect
for and remove 8,11nails from lumber before cutting,
• NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
• NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING COM-
PONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH "rile WORKPIECE.
• DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
• WHEN SERVICING use onlyidentical replacement
parts. Usa of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed
in this manual or addendums, Use of accessories
that are not listed may cause the risk of personal
injuw, Instructions for safe use of accessories are
included with the accessory.
• DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is
tight and not making contact with saw or workplace
before connecting to power supply.
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs
when the blade stallsrapidly and workplace is driven
back towards the operator. Itcan pull your hand into
the blade resultingin sedous personalinjury. Stay out
of blade path and turn switch Offimmediately if blade
binds or stalls.
• USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge
guide when ripping.
• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk ofblade
pinching and kickback, always support ]argo panels.
• REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES
before transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in
an accident causing possible serious personaL injury.
• ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE/
SPREADER/SPLrrrER, AND ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS on all "through-sawing" operations. Through-
sawing operations arethese in whichthe blade cuts
completelythrough the workplace as in rippingor
crosscutting. Keep the blade guard down, the anti-
kickback pawls down, and the rivingknife/spreader/
splitter properly aligned to the saw blade.
• ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against ripfence,
miter fence, or miter gauge.
• ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NAR-
ROW STOCK, A push stick is a device used to push
a workpiece through the blade instead of using your
hands. Size and shape can vary but the push stick must
always be narrower than the workplace to prevent the
pushstick from contacting the saw blade_When ripping
narrow stock, always use a push stick,so your hand does
not come close to the saw blade. Use a featherboardand
push blocks for non-through cuts.
