1. ALWAYS use saw-blade guard and spreader for every operation for which it can be used,
including all through sawing. Thru-sawing operations those when the blade cuts completely
through the work piece as in ripping or cross cutting.
2. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the miter gage or fence.
3. ALWAYS use a push stick for ripping narrow stock. Refer to ripping applications in instruction
manual where push stick is covered in detail.
4. NEVER perform any operation “free-hand” which means using your hands to support or guide
the work piece. Always use either the fence or the miter gage to position and guide the work.
5. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.
6. NEVER reach in back of or over saw blade.
7. MOVE the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting.
8. WHEN cutting molding. NEVER run the stock between the fence and the molding cutter head.
Refer to molding applications in instruction Manual for details.
9. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction or rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
10. NEVER use the fence as a cut-off gage when cross cutting.
11. NEVER attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF.
12. PROVIDE adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wide or long work pieces.
13. AVOID KICKBACKS (work thrown back toward you) by keeping blade sharp. Keeping rip
fence parallel to the saw blade. Keeping splitter and ant kickback figures and guard in place
and operating, by not releasing work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade, and by
not ripping work that is twisted or does not have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
14. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the cutting tool.
15. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.
16. ALWAYS bolt the saw to the supporting surface or use a sturdy outrigger support if a table
extension more than 24 in long is attached to the saw.
