accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Do not use the tool in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive cut-off
wheel installed.
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially the
installing surface) and hex nut before
installing the blade. Poor installation may
cause vibration/wobbling or slippage of the
blade.
6. Use saw-blade guard and spreader for every
operation for which it can be used, including
all through sawing operations. Always
assemble and install the blade guard following
the step by step instructions out-lined in this
manual. Through sawing operations are those
in which the blade cuts completely through
the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting.
NEVER use the tool with a faulty blade guard
or secure the blade guard with a rope, string,
etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
