• Do not use fence as a guide when crosscutting.
• Do not ripcut a twisted or warped workpiece, or workpiece without straight edge to guide along fence.
• Maintain control of the workpiece. Do not allow the workpiece to rest against the moving blade without
holding onto it.
• If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, turn off the power switch and hold the workpiece still until the
blade stops. Correct the cause of blade binding before proceeding.
• Before continuing an unfinished cut, center the blade in the pre-cut kerf and check that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the workpiece before turning on the saw.
• Push wood stock past the blade prior to release.
11. Check guards for proper operation with saw disconnected from power before each use. Do not disa-
ble any guard. Do not operate saw if any movable guard does not move freely and close instantly. Make
sure any movable guard does not touch the blade in all angles, depths of cut, and positions.
12. Keep the guard in place while through-sawing. Verify that the spreader lines up with the blade to
prevent binding.
13. Construct an appropriate Push Stick out of wood according to the guidelines on the following page.
14. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving guards
must move freely and close instantly.
15. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of
injury to persons.
16. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
17. Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.
18. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unappro-
ved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
19. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
20. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
