Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a respiratory mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

- Turn the saw OFF and unplug the power cord if the blade jams in the workpiece.
This condition is usually caused by sawdust clogging the line you are cutting.
Wedge open the workpiece and back out the blade after turning off and unplugging
the machine.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
1. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductorto a live terminal.
3. Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
4. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and outlets
that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION! In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If
you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

1. Clean your saw after each use. Wipe it down with a soft cloth. Clean any accumulated
sawdust out of the base. Use low-pressure compressed air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to
blow any sawdust out of the blade holders, blade bevel rails, etc.
2. If desired, apply a light coat of dry lubricant (such as PTFE) to the inside of the blade
bevel rails. This will help the table bevel smoothly.
3. The motor bearings, interior bearings, and table bevel rail bearings are all sealed and
require no additional lubrication.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
19/32"
or less
The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how
frequently and how heavily the tool is used. To
maintain maximum efficiency of the motor, we
recommend inspecting the two carbon brushes
every 60 hours of operation or when the tool stops
working.
1. Unplug the saw. To access the carbon
brushes, remove the carbon brush cover (1)
with a flat-head screwdriver (not included).
2. Carefully remove the old carbon brush-
es.Keep track of which orientation the old
carbon brushes were in to prevent unneces-
sary wear if they will be reinstalled.
3. Measure the length of the brushes. Install the
new set of carbon brushes if either carbon
brush length is worn down to 19/32” or less.
Reinstall the old carbon brushes (in their
original orientation) if your brushes are not
worn down to 19/32” or less. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time.
4. Replace the carbon brush cover.
4. Place the workpiece on the saw table, threading the blade through the hole in the
workpiece.
5. Lower the upper arm.
6. Secure the blade in the upper blade clamp, as directed in “ Replace the saw blade ”
(see page 13）

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Clean your saw after each use. Wipe it down with a soft cloth. Clean any accumulated
sawdust out of the base. Use low-pressure compressed air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to
blow any sawdust out of the blade holders, blade bevel rails, etc.
2. If desired, apply a light coat of dry lubricant (such as PTFE) to the inside of the blade
bevel rails. This will help the table bevel smoothly.
3. The motor bearings, interior bearings, and table bevel rail bearings are all sealed and
require no additional lubrication.
