GENERAL SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS 
 (For All Tools) 
1.  KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owners 
manual carefully. Learn the tools applications 
and limitations, as well as the specific 
potential hazards  peculiar to it. 
2.  KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working 
order. 
3.  REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. 
Form habit of checking to  see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool 
before turning it on. 
4.  KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas 
and benches invite accidents. 
5.  DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. 
Do not use power tools in damp or wet 
locations, or expose them  to rain. Keep work  area well lighted. Do not 
use tool in presence 
of flammable liquids or gases. 
6.  KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be 
kept safe distance from work area. 
7.  MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, 
master switches, or by removing starter keys. 
8. 
DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better 
and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 
9.  USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or 
attachment to do a job for which it was not 
designed. 
10. 
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose 
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or 
other jewelry which may get caught in moving 
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear 
protective hair covering to contain long hair. 
11 .   ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use 
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact 
resistant lenses, they  are NOT safety glasses. 
12.  SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold 
work when practical. Its safer than using your 
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. 
13.  DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. 
14.  MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools 
sharp and clean for best and safest 
performance. Follow instructions for 
lubricating and  changing accessories.

15. 
DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when 
changing accessories such as blades, bits, 
cutters, and the like. 
16.  REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL 
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position 
before plugging in. 
17.  USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. 
Consult the owners manual for recommended 
accessories. The use of  improper accessories 
may cause risk of injury to persons. 
18.  NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could 
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool 
is unintentionally contacted. 
19.  CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use 
of the tool, a guard or other part that is 
damaged should be carefully checked to 
determine that it will operate properly and 
perform its intended function - check for 
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any 
other conditions that may affect its operation. 
A guard or other part that is damaged should 
be properly repaired or replaced. 
20.  DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade 
or cutter against the direction of rotation of 
the blade or cutter only. 
21.  NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. 
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it 
comes to a complete stop.  22. 
REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use 
only identical replacement parts. 
23.  POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of 
electric shock, this a ppliance has a polarized 
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This 
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 
reverse the plug. If it st ill does not fit, contact 
a qualified electrician to install the proper 
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. 
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a 
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the 
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the 
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage 
greater than that specified for the tool can result in 
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to 
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE 
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less 
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. 
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your 
extension cord is in good condition. When using an 
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to 
carry the current your product will draw. An 
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage 
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 
shows the correct size to use depending on cord 
length and nameplate ampere  rating. If in doubt, use 
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, 
the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product 
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence 
to slide compound saw safety rules. If you use this 
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious 
personal injury.  1.  Wear eye protection. 
2.  Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid 
contact with any coasti ng blade. It can still 
cause severe injury. 
3.  Do not operate saw without guards in place. 
Check blade guard for proper closing before  each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard 
does not move freely and close instantly. 
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the 
open position. 
4.  Do not perform any operation freehand. The 
workpiece must be secured firmly against the 
turn base and guide fence with a vise during 
all operations. Never use your hand to secure 
the workpiece. 
5.  Never reach around saw blade. 
6. 
Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop 
before moving workpiece or changing settings. 
7.  Unplug tool before changing blade or 
servicing.

8. 
To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to 
the full rear position after each crosscut 
operation. 
9.  Always secure all moving portions before 
carrying the tool. 
10.  Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down 
is for carrying and storage purposes only and 
not for any cutting operations. 
11 .  
Do not use the tool in the presence of 
flammable liquids or gases. The electrical 
operation of the tool could create an explosion and 
fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases. 
12.  Check the blade carefully for cracks or 
damage before operati on. Replace cracked or 
damaged blade immediately.  Gum and wood 
pitch hardened on blades slows saw and 
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean 
by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with 
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. 
Never use gasoline to clean blade. 
13. 
While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.  KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the 
workpiece during a cutting operation and the 
saw blade is driven rapidly towards the 
operator. Loss of control and serious personal 
injury can result. If blade begins to bind during 
a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and 
release switch immediately. 
14.  Use only flanges specifi ed for this tool. 
15.  Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges 
(especially the instal ling surface) or bolt. 
Damage to these parts could result in blade 
breakage. 
16. 
Make sure that the turn base is properly 
secured so it will not move during operation. 
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a 
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool 
where operator positioning would be awkward. 
17. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,  etc. from the table top before operation. 
18.  Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all 
nails from the workpiece before operation. 
19.  Make sure the shaft lock  is released before the 
switch is turned on. 
20.  Be sure that the blade does not contact the 
turn base in the lowest position. 
21.  Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw 
moves up or down slightly during start-up and 
stopping. 
22.  Make sure the blade is not contacting the 
workpiece before the switch is turned on. 
23.  Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, 
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or 
wobbling that could indicate poor installation 
or a poorly balanced blade.  24. 
Wait until the blade atta ins full speed before 
cutting. 
25.  Stop operation immediately if you notice 
anything abnormal. 
26.  Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the ON 
position. 
27.  Be alert at all time s, especially during 
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be 
lulled into a false sen se of security. Blades are 
extremely unforgiving. 
28.  Always use accessories  recommended in this 
manual. Use of improper accessories such as 
abrasive wheels may cause an injury. 
29.  NEVER hold workpiece on ri ght side of blade 
with left hand or vice versa. This is called 
cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk 
of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in 
the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure 
workpiece. 
 000030 30.  Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to 
disconnect it from the  receptacle. Keep cord 
away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects. 
31.  NEVER stack workpieces on the table top to 
speed cutting operations. Cut only one piece 
at a time. 
32.  Some material contains chemicals which may 
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust 
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material 
supplier safety data. 
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
