_L, WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions in this manual before using this saw. Failure to follow all instructions may result electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA SAFETY Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered workbenches and dark areas invite accidents. * Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. * Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. * Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock tools away when not in use. * Make sure the work area has ample lighting, so you can see the work, and that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation before using your saw. PERSONAL SAFETY Know your power tool. Read this operator's manual carefully. Learn the tool's applications and limitations, as well as the specific, potential hazards related to this tool. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use this tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in "Off" position before plugging the tool into a power source. DO NOT carry tools with your finger on the switch. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the "On" position invites accidents. Remove adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool "On." A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. 28195 Manual_Revised_07-0623 Page 5
