workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8. Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not for
any cutting operations.
10. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. The electrical operation of the tool
could create an explosion and fire when exposed to
flammable liquids or gases.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.

cutting.
23. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
