The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the

and limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
■ DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON­
MENT. Do not use power tools near gasoline or
other flammable liquids, in damp or wet loca­
tions, or expose them to rain. Keep the work
area well lit.
■ MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
padlocks and master switches or by removing
starter keys.
■ KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept
a safe distance from work area. Do not let
visitors contact tool or extension cord while
operating.
■ KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
work areas and work benches invite accidents.
DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the
saw while it is in operation.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer perfor­
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not
force the tool or attachment to do a job it was
not designed for. Use it only the way it was
intended.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose cloth­
ing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip
footwear are recommended. Also wear protec­
tive hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses,
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is
unintentionally contacted.
