adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, have push stick ready to use before starting cut.
WARNING: In the event of a power failure or when the tool is not in use, turn the switch OFF. This action will
prevent the tool from accidentally starting when power returns.
WARNING: ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to
start the saw. Blade contact could result in kickback or thrown workpiece.

result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or standard safety glasses with side shields complying with United
States ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool operation.
WARNING: Never operate the saw with the blade guard removed except for dado and other non-through cuts.
Reinstall the blade guard immediately after nishing any non-through cut operations which require removal of the blade
guard. Failure to heed this instruction could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the
workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand,
being pulled into the saw blade.

and respiratory equipment. 2) Blade is securely tightened. 3) Bevel angle and fence rails locking lever is locked. 4) If ripping,
