Safety Instructions for All Saws

DANGER:Keephandsawayfromthecuttingareaandtheblade.Keepyoursecondhand

ontheauxiliaryhandleorthemotorhousing.If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be

cut by the blade.

• Donotreachunderneaththeworkpiece.The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the

workpiece.

• Adjustthecuttingdepthtothethicknessoftheworkpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade

teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

• Neverholdthepiecebeingcutinyourhandsoracrossyourleg.Securetheworkpieceto

astableplatform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade

binding, and loss of control.

• Holdpowertoolsbytheinsulatedgrippingsurfaceswhenperforminganoperationwherethe

cuttingtoolmaycontacthiddenwiringoritsowncord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Whenripping,alwaysusearipfenceorstraight-edgeguide. This improves the accuracy of cut

and reduces the chance of blade binding.

• Alwaysusebladeswitharborholesofthecorrectsizeandshape(diamondversusround).

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of

control.

• Neverusedamagedorincorrectbladewashersorbolt.The blade washers and bolt were

specially designed for your saw for optimum performance and safe of operation.
