GENERAL SAFETY RULES  KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, and with sufficient set. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.  KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.  Blade coasts after being turned off.  NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.  Inspect TOOL CORDS periodically. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.  Inspect EXTENSION CORDS periodically and replace if damaged.  GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with threeprong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle.  CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.  Use only correct electrical devices: 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.  DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided.
