WORK AREA SAFETY

1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of

wood on the saw while it is in operation. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

4. ALWAYS make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches or by

removing starter keys.

5. ALWAYS make sure the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work and

that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation BEFORE using

your saw.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. ALWAYS know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully, learn the

saw's applications and limitations, as well as, the specific potential hazards related to

this tool.

2. ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

3. ALWAYS dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets or other jewelry that can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

Non-slip footwear is also recommended. Pull back long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

4. ALWAYS remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

6. ALWAYS wear a dust mask to keep you from inhaling fine particles.

7. ALWAYS protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of

operation.

8. ALWAYS secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is

safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

9. DO NOT overreach. ALWAYS keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

10. ALWAYS avoid accidental starting. BE SURE switch is in the "Off" position

before plugging in.

11. NEVER stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is

accidentally contacted.
