SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED
before starting a cut to avoid binding or stalling
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY. Do not
force the workpiece against the blade.
DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED CUTOFF PIECES until
blade has stopped.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADES, unplug the saw and re-
move the switch key.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless mis-
take. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction of
a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHT-
ING to see the work and that no obstructions will inter-
fere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work
using your saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE SAW before disconnecting it
to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply. NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected
to a power source.
