which extend beyond the saw table. Large
workpieces can shift, twist, rise from table or
fall after they are cut.
2. Helpers can be hit by a thrown workpiece,
workpiece chips or pieces of the blade. Use
table extensions or other supports. Do not
use helpers.
3. Helpers can cause the workpiece to kick-
back. Do not use other people to support or
assist in feeding or pulling the workpiece.
Use table extensions. See Recommended Ac-
cessories section of the manual.
4. When table extensions over 24 inches wide
are added to either side of the saw, make
sure you either bolt the saw to the floor or
support the outer end of the extension from
the floor with sturdy legs or an outrigger.

2. Do not use blades larger than 10 inches in
diameter.
3. Keep blade sharp and clean.
4. Do not cycle motor switch on and off rapid-
ly; the blade can loosen.

collar can be warped.
