Use And Care Manual

WARNING: Before removing loose pieces from the table or making adjustments, turn saw off and wait for all
moving parts to stop to avoid serious personal injury.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury,
never leave the saw unattended until the blade has come
to a complete stop.
REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL
When backing out the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging the kerf
or when the blade comes out of the blade holders. If this happens:
AVOIDING INJURY
• Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a rm, level surface with plenty of room for handling
and properly supporting the workpiece.
• Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.
• Turn saw off and unplug cord from the power source before moving the saw.
• Do not remove jammed pieces until blade has come to a full and complete stop.
• Choose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do.
• Use only recommended accessories.
• With the exception of the workpiece and related support devises, clear everything off the saw table before turning the
saw on.
• Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or tubing because they have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing
the blade to “bite.” To avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge.
• Before removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
rock or slip while being cut.
• Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop.
• Place the switch in the Off position.
• Unplug the saw from the power source.
• Remove the saw's blade and the workpiece, refer to section on “blade removal and installation.”
• Wedge the kerf open with a at screwdriver or wooden wedge, then remove the blade from the workpiece.
