kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from
tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot
water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean
blade.
11. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-
age to these parts could result in blade break-
age.
13. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation. Use the
holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable
work platform or bench. NEVER use tool where
operator positioning would be awkward.
14. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
15. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
16. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
17. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
18. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
19. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
21. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-
ting.
22. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
23. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on posi-
tion.
24. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
25. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
26. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade
with left hand or vice versa. This is called cross-
armed cutting and exposes user to risk of SERI-
OUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in the figure.
ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece.
27. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, water and sharp objects.
28. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to
speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece at a
time.
29. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
