• If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been
damaged or broken ... such as the motor switch, or other
operating control, a safety device or the power cord ... cease
operating immediately until the particular part is properly
repaired or replaced.
• NEVER place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
• NEVER place your fingers and hands in the path of the
sawblade or other cutting tool.
• DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" — always use
the fence to position and guide the work for both rip cuts and
crosscuts.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw
table for wider or long workpieces.
• If you stall or jam the tile blade in the workpiece, turn saw
"OFF", remove the workpiece from the tile blade, and check to
see if the tile blade is parallel to the table slots or grooves and
if the riving knife is in proper alignment with the sawblade. If
ripping at the time, check to see if rip fence is parallel with the
sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
• DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become trapped inside the blade guard while the saw is
running. This could endanger your hands or cause a kickback.
Turn saw "OFF" and wait until blade stops.
