To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Before connecting the radial arm saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the
guard and splitter for proper operation alignment and clearance with saw blade. Personal injury may
result.
If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise, or if it vibrates excessively, cease operating immediately until the
source has been located and the problem corrected.
The proper throat plate must be in place at all times to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible
injury.
