22. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign material from the
workpiece before operation.
23. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
24. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
25. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
26. Keep hands and make your bystander and
yourself position out of path of and not in line
with saw blade. Avoid contact with any
coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury
and never reach around saw blade.
27. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades
are extremely unforgiving.
28. Make sure the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
29. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
30. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
31. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
32. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving
settings.
33. Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing
or not in use.
34. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
− lead from lead-based-painted material and,
− arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from
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.
35. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is
not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in
connection with the tool's construction and
design:
− Damage to health resulting from hand-
arm vibrations if the power tool is used
over a longer period of time and is not
operated or serviced correctly.
workpiece or changing
these exposures varies,
− Injury or damage caused by loose tool
attachments which can unexpectedly slide
out/from the power tool due to sudden
damage, wear or improper mounting.
WHEN USING IN MITER SAW MODE:
36. Replace the kerf board when worn.
37. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid
working with the hands and fingers close to
the saw blade.
38. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the arm.
39. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base
and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
40. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.
41. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.
42. Support long workpieces with appropriate
additional supports.
43. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be
securely held by the vise. Improperly held workpiece
may cause kickback and serious personal injury.
44. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
45. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
46. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position and is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
47. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
WHEN USING IN THE TABLE SAW (BENCH SAW)
MODE:
48. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise
to fix the arm.
49. Make sure that the bench saw table is
securely fixed at the chosen height.
50. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
51. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned on.
52. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a
sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the
ejection of the workpiece from the tool back
towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS
by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip
fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the riving
knife and blade guard in place and operating
properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you
have pushed it all the way past the blade, and by
