safety tips
your safety is important. the tips below are
intended to supplement
section 1: safety.
but remember, no safety list can cover every situ-
ation. the operator is ultimately responsible for
their own safety, as well as the safety of bystand-
ers. every cutting operation is uniquely different
and may require safety equipment or safety pro-
cedures not mentioned in this manual.
please follow these safety tips every time
you use your saw:
• stand to the left of the blade line-of-cut when
performing a cutting operation.
• turn OFF the saw and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing
cut-off pieces.
• make sure that the riving knife is always
aligned with the main blade before cutting!
• always position the blade guard to the correct
height above the workpiece.
• Carefully plan each cutting operation to avoid
injuries.
• When you release the sliding table lock,
make sure that the knob is positioned so that
it will not lock the table during a cut.
• plan your cut to avoid putting your hands
near the blade or reaching across the blade.
