SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and follow all safety, operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to read and follow these
instructions could result in injury or death to you or others. Failure to read and follow these instructions could
also result in damage and/or reduced equipment life. In order to prevent injury, the following safety precautions
should be followed at all times!
READ OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE USE
Before using this equipment, ensure that the person operating this machine has read and understands all of
the instructions in the manual. Precaution is the best insurance against accidents. Read and understand all
safety precautions, messages, warnings and hazard symbols. You are responsible for your own safety.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES
Safety glasses should always be worn when working around power tools. In addition, a face, dust mask or
respirator should be worn if a cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses and may not prevent eye injury-they are NOT safety glasses.
USE PROPER APPAREL
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may be caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Hand protection
(plastic gloves) and a shop bib are recommended during sawing to prevent stains to clothing. Avoid prolonged
exposure of skin to the sawing lubricant and wash skin immediately after contact. Do not touch the work
material until the motor is off and the machine has come to a complete stop.
ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION
To reduce the possibility of hearing loss, always use hearing protection when operating power equipment.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
In order to prevent injury, never operate the saw with out the guards in place!
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the power tool before it is
turned on.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS PLACE
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations nor expose them to rain. Always keep the work area well
lighted.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Never touch electrical wires or motor components while the motor is running. Exposed, frayed or worn
electrical wiring and plugs can be sources of electrical shock that could cause severe injury or burns.
DISCONNECT TOOLS
Power tools should always be disconnected before servicing or when changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, and the like.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTS
Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before plugging in a power tool.
