Important Safety Instructions
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switch-
es, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using and extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Air vents often cover mov-
ing parts and should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1
requirements. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing acces-
sories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruc-
tion manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
English

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function — check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
a. This equipment may have a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
b. The tool may be equipped with a 3-prong grounding type
plug. This plug is to be used in a grounded outlet only. If
the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
c. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Additional Safety Rules for Chop Saw
• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or flaws.
If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the wheel. The
wheel should also be inspected whenever you think the tool
may have been dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel or if
you are unsure of the condition of the wheel, hold the tool in
a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel
has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one
minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel.
This includes the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for
cracks or flaws.
• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure in this
manual.
• Do not remove wheel guards or base.
• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP
WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring, bar, or C-clamps
may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of workpiece.
Use care in selecting and placing these clamps and make a dry
run before making a cut.
• Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm or higher.
• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.
• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool.
• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.
• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base.
• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades
with this tool. Serious injury may result.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting
or arcing motor brushes may ignite combustible materials.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder.
This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an unsafe
condition. The wheel may come apart .
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
CAUTION: Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid touching or
adjusting while hot. Keep cordset and materials away from spark
deflector.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
For your convenience and safety, the following warnings are on
your Heavy-Duty 14" (355mm) Chop Saw:

Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting against
base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the workpiece can be
used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. 2).
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will be
level with top of base (Fig. 3). The cut-off end should be free to
fall downward to avoid wheel binding.
Spark Deflector Adjustment (Fig. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and
materials, loosen the screw (B), adjust the spark deflector (C)
and then retighten screw. Do not allow cordset to come into contact
with deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may occur.
