•
Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging in.
•
Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the
rate for which it was designed.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
•
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
•
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
•
Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-
tion and specific limitations.
•
Use recommended
accessories (refer to page 13).
Use of improper accessories
may cause risk of
injury to persons.
•
Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-
sible injury.
•
Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs
too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.)
•
Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in
place and in proper operating condition.
•
Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of
rotation.
CAUTION:
Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at all times
when tool is being used.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to the instructions.

bench or table in a place with ample lighting and
correct power supply.

workpiece through the entire cut. There must be
enough room that neither the operators or the
bystanders will have to stand in line with the wood
while using the tool.

er to workbench or tool stand using bolts, flat wash-
ers and hex nuts (not supplied).
