8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to
the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.
9. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
11. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases. The electrical
operation of the tool could create an explosion and
fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases.
12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood
pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.
KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the
workpiece during a cutting operation and the
saw blade is driven rapidly towards the
operator. Loss of control and serious personal
injury can result. If blade begins to bind during
a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and
release switch immediately.
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
15. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
16. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
17. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
19. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
20. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
23. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
24. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
27. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
28. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade
with left hand or vice versa. This is called
cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk
of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in
the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure
workpiece.

30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects.
31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to
speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece
at a time.
32. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
