A WARNING
To avoid injury, never use the saw without the
cover plate secure in place. It keeps the arbor
bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens, and
helps prevent the spinning blade from coming off
the saw.
Make sure the collars are clean and properly
arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table
and check for any contact with the base or the
miter table by spinning the blade manually.
A WARNING
For your own safety, never connect the plug to
power source outlet until ail the adjustment steps
are complete and you have read and understood the
safety and operational instructions.
