comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.

APPLiCATiONS
This product has been designed only for the purpose listed
below:
 Cutting laminate, engineered, and solid, hardwood floor-
ing material
wARNiNg:
NEVER make adjustment to any cutting angle while the
saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can
result in contact with the blade causing serious personal
injury.
AVOiDiNg KiCKBACK
 Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a
cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never
saw into a loose knot or nail.
 Always use the fence when rip cutting. This helps pre-
vent twisting the wood in the cut.
 Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
 To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly
before beginning a cut.
 When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never
force cuts.
 Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
 Use extra caution when cutting some prefinished or
composition wood products as the anti-kickback pawls
may not always be effective.
 Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with
push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a

OPERATiON

balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should
it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.
 Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate, and
any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may
gather.
 Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
 Always use the riving knife for every operation where it
is allowed. The use of this device will greatly reduce the
risk of kickback.
CUTTiNg AiDS
See Figure 15, page 21.
Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a
workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When ripping
narrow stock, always use a push stick or push block so your
hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade. They
can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood
and used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower
than the workpiece, with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping
for a grip on the other end.
A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws
from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and
all non-through cuts.
CAUTiON:
Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed to avoid
damaging the saw or workpiece.
