23. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades
sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
24. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush to remove chips or debris — do not use
your hands.
25. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over, or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
26. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
27. Remove loose items and unnecessary
workpieces from the area before starting the
machine.
28. Make sure workpiece is securely clamped in
vise. Never use your hand to hold the
workpiece.
29. Never reach around or over a moving saw
blade.
30. Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade
has stopped.
31. Feed work into a blade or cutter only against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter.
32. Maintain proper adjustment of blade tension,
blade guides and thrust bearings.
33. Minimize blade exposure by adjusting blade
guides to just clear workpiece.
34. Check coolant level daily. Replace dirty or weak
coolant.
35. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
36. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 (sect. 6.3) shows correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
