− 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 not ripping a
workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
53. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do
not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If
you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece,
turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool.
Then clear the jam.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety
rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to
follow the safety rules stated in this instruction
manual may cause serious personal injury.
