Position your body and hands prop-

erly to make cutting easier and

safer. Observe the following instructions (Figure 17).

Figure 17. Hand Positions

● Never place hands near cutting area. Keep hands

and arms outside the “No Hands” zone.

● The “No Hands Zone” is defined as the entire Table

plus the fixed portion of the Base on the right and

left side of the Table and portions of the Fence

within this boundry. This zone is labeled by “No

Hands” symbols placed on the fixed Base.

● Be aware of the path of the sawblade. Make a dry

run with the saw OFF by conducting a simulated

cutting cycle, and observe the projected path of the

sawblade. Keep hands out of the path of sawblade.

Y RUN—

It is important to know where the blade

will intersect with the workpiece during cutting oper-

ations. Always perform the simulated cutting

sequence

with the power tool switched OFF to gain

an understanding of the projected path of the saw-

blade. Mentally note where the path of sawblade

will fall and set up your work to keep your hands

and arms out of the path of the spinning blade.

Adjust your clamps and fences so that the smooth

lower guard and cutting action is not interfered with

during cutting operation.

● Hold workpiece firmly against table and fence to

prevent movement.

● Keep hands in position until trigger has been

released and blade has stopped completely.

● Never place hands on slide rails.

● Keep feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper

balance.

● Follow the miter arm when mitering left or right.

Stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.

The lower guard may not automatically

open under certain cutting conditions.

For example, when trying to cut work-pieces that are

near the maximum cutting height capacity. Under

these conditions or during the sliding motion of cut,

the workpiece can stop the lower guard movement

before the downward motion of the arm could pre-

open the lower guard.

If this occurs:

● Workpiece must be securely clamped. This frees a

hand to raise the guard by the lip just

enough to clear the workpiece (Figure 18).

● Start the saw and begin your cut.

● Once you have cleared the position where the

lower guard may bind, release the guard and it will

continue to operate automatically as you cut.
