34. Some dust created from operation contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of

these chemicals are:

- lead from lead-based-painted material and,

- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-

ing on how often you do this type of work. To

reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work

in a well ventilated area and work with approved

safety equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out micro-

scopic particles.

35. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is

not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.

The following hazards may arise in connection

with the tool’s construction and design:

- Damage to health resulting from hand-arm

vibrations if the power tool is used over a

longer period of time and is not operated or

serviced correctly.

- Injury or damage caused by loose tool attach-

ments 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 work-

ing 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 opera-

tions. 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 addi-

tional supports.

43. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be

securely held by the vise. Improperly held work-

piece may cause kickback and serious personal

injury.

44. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-

minum 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. Free-

hand 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 reduc-

ing 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 opera-

tor. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PER-

SONAL 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.
