• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign objects
into the eyes and could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety
Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. NOTE:
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when
they break.
• WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing produces dust.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when practical. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before servicing, and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the tool in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Operator’s Manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a risk of
injury to yourself or others.
• NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function—check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
• NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do
not walk away from a running tool until the blade comes to a complete stop and the
tool is unplugged from the power source.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. NEVER reach
across the path of the cutting blade while tool is in operation.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DO NOT use power tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
• DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or
medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
