■ USE THE 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. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is

recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in

length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller

the gage number, the heavier the cord.

■ INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and

replace if damaged.

■ DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,

neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry. They can get

caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves

and nonslip footwear are recommended. Also wear pro-

tective hair covering to contain long hair.

■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE

SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resis-

tant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

■ PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if

the cutting operation is dusty.

■ PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection

during extended periods of operation.

■ SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when

practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both

hands to operate tool.

■ DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times.

■ MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and

clean for better and safer performance. Follow instruc-

tions for lubricating and changing accessories.

■ DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before

servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,

cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power

supply.

■ AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off

when plugging in.

■ USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of

improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

■ NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if

the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally con-

tacted.

■ CHECK 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,

saw stability, mounting and any other conditions that may

affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged

must be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified

service technician at an authorized service center to

avoid risk of personal injury.

■ DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into blade against the

cutting portion of the blade only.

■ NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN

THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a

complete stop.

■ USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right blade

size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type

of cut. Blade teeth should point down toward the table.

Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback. Correctly

adjust blade tension.

■ TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR and minimize blade

breakage, ALWAYS adjust the hold down foot to apply

light pressure to the workpiece. Never operate the saw

with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards

are operating properly before each use.

■ KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Do not

hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the

blade guard. Never reach underneath work or behind,

under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting

path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Do not

attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.

■ AVOID PINCHING THE BLADE. Be cautious when cut-

ting off material which is irregular in cross section. For

example, molding must lay flat on the table and not be

permitted to rock.

■ DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect

it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp

edges.

■ INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if dam-

aged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at

an authorized service center. Stay constantly aware of

cord location and keep it well away from the blade.

■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT

ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by a

qualified service technician at an authorized service

center.

■ KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND

GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based prod-

ucts, or any solvents to clean tool.

■ A LARGE PIECE OF MATERIAL SHOULD BE SUP-

PORTED while cutting. To minimize risk of blade pinching

and kickback, always support long workpieces. Saw may

slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.
