guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Pre-
cautionary measures will avoid accidents.
Never leave the flooring saw running unattended. Turn
it off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a com-
plete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled
hazard.
Locate the flooring saw in a well-lit and level area
where you can maintain good footing and balance. It
should be installed in an area that provides enough
room to easily handle the size of your workpiece.
Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite
accidents.
Frequently clean and remove sawdust from around
the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Ac-
cumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before
the flooring saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential
jam can be dangerous.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Page 7 — English
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
off-centre, causing loss of control. The maximum blade
capacity of your saw is 5-1/2 in.
Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting
means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or
nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for
your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate
in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels,
wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a flooring saw.
Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not
recommended may cause serious injury.
