ting devices are securely tightened
before starting the machine.
x Make sure that the machine is on a
level and solid surface to prevent
tipping over. All four feet must be
securely on the surface before you
can use the machine.
x If something goes wrong, e.g. a
jam occurs, make sure that all
safety devices are put in place
again after the problem is resolved
or the jam is elimated, etc., and

correctly fitted. Otherwise the saw
may jam or the saw blade may
work itself loose!

selves loose.

hammer to tighten the arbor bolt.
