Blade Safety Instructions
1. Use only blades marked for at least 3450
rpm.
2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter blades.
3. Use blades for their recommended cut-
ting procedures.
4. Keep blade sharp and clean.
5. Do not overtighten blade nut because
blade collar could warp.
6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid
sequence because blade can loosen.
7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after
saw is switched off. If blade takes longer, the
saw needs repair. Contact Authorized Ser-
vice Center.
Safety
3. Rip only workpieces longer than the
diameter of the blade. Do not rip workpieces
that are shorter than the diameter of the
blade being used.
4. Workpieces that extend beyond the saw
table can shift, twist, rise up from the table,
or fall as they are cut or afterwards. Support
workpiece with table extensions the same
height as the saw table.
5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends of
extensions with sturdy legs or an outrigger.
6. Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or pull-
ing on workpieces, because these actions
can cause kickback. Use table extensions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece. It’s
safer than using your hands.
