OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks
and push blocks when there is a danger that
your hands or ngers will come close to the
blade.
• Always hold the workpiece rmly with the table
and the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or
twist it while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or
twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade
is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece
before completing a cut, rst switch the tool off
while holding the workpiece rmly. Wait until
the blade has come to a complete stop before
withdrawing the workpiece. Failure to do so may
cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade
is running.
• NEVER place your hands or ngers in the path
of the saw blade. Be especially careful with
bevel cuts.
• Always secure the rip fence rmly, or dangerous
kickbacks may occur.
• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks
and push blocks when cutting small or narrow
workpieces, or when the dado head is hidden
from view while cutting.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts with-
out the need for the operator to contact the blade with
any part of the body.
NOTE:
• For your convenience a push stick has been
provided with the tool.
