ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool.
WARNING: 7-1/4” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a
blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too
thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger
diameter blades will contact the blade guards. Either situation could result in a serious
accident.

AVERTISSEMENT: L’UTILISATION DE CET OUTIL PEUT GÉNÉRER ET
BRASSER DE LA POUSSIÈRE ET D’AUTRES PARTICULES EN SUSPENSION DANS L’AIR,
COMME SCIURE, SILICE CRISTALLINE ET AMIANTE. Dirigez le flot de particules hors
de votre visage et de votre corps. Faites toujours fonctionner l’outil dans une zone bien
ventilée, et veillez à une bonne évacuation de la poussière. Utilisez un système de collecte
de poussières dans la mesure du possible. L’exposition aux poussières peut causer des
troubles respiratoires ou autres sérieux et permanents, incluant la silicose (une sérieuse
affection des poumons), le cancer et la mort. Évitez de respirer la poussière et évitez un
contact prolongé avec elle. Si vous laissez entrer la poussière dans votre bouche ou vos
yeux, ou se déposer sur votre peau, vous risquez de provoquer l’absorption de matières
dangereuses. Portez toujours une protection respiratoire approuvée NIOSH/OSHA bien
ajustée convenant à la protection contre les poussières, et lavez les surfaces de peau
exposées à l’eau et au savon.
