7. CHECK MOVING PARTS FOR BINDING OR ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT
MAY AFFECT THE NORMAL OPERATION OR SAFETY FEATURES OF THE
TOOL. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE THE TOOL. Any alteration or modification is a
misuse and may result in serious personal injury.
9. THE USE OF ANY OTHER ACCESSORIES NOT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL
MAY CREATE A HAZARD. Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool,
could create a risk of injury when used on an inappropriate tool.
10. KEEP THE TOOL AND ITS HANDLE DRY, CLEAN AND FREE FROM OIL
AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk or loss of control and deterioration of the
plastic housing.
11. INSPECT THE TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If your cord is damaged, have
it repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. Stay
constantly aware of the cord location and keep it well away from the rotating
blade.
12. 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 tool
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.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 hazardous
to your health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for
proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible.
14. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use blade washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum
blade capacity of your saw is 12” (305 mm).
15. BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
16. AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.
17. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE or other moving parts during use.
18. NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT
WITH THE WORKPIECE.
19. DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure the blade is tight and not making
contact with the saw or workpiece before connecting to a power supply.
