n 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 operating.

SUPPLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING THIS KIT. Make sure
the switch is off when reconnecting the saw to a power
supply.
n BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS
ARE SECURE.
n Always get help if you need to lift the workstand. When
lifting, hold the workstand close to your body. Bend your
knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back.

down to prevent movement and possible damage.

are forced to stand with any part of their body inline with
the path of the saw blade.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
