General Power Tool Safety Warnings

_ ARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

• 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.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double insulated tools are equipped with 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 fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quafified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation []

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When

using an 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury,

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of

control

• Do not force tool Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally,

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation, ff damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your modeL
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personneL Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury,

• When servicing a tool use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury,

Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Masonry Saws

• DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle or motor housing./f both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut

by the blade.

• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece

• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "five" wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing

loss of control.

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

• Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but not in line with the saw
blade.

• Blades coast after turn off. Serious personal injury may result.

• Don't unplug if plug or receptacle is wet. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

• Wait for the saw to come to a complete stop. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the

blade to stop after switch is released.

• Do not use to cut wood or metal.

• Never use toothed blades. This tool is not equipped with a

lower guard.

A DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
Personal injury may result.

WARNING: Always plug extension cord into a GFCI protected outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections

dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

_)_WARNING: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is provided on the cord set. Receptacles

are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for an added measure of safety,

When using an extension cord, always plug into a GFCI protected receptacle or outlet.

WARNING: Test GFCI before each use:

1. Plug GFCI into power outlet. Indicator should turn red.

2. Press test button. Red indicator should disappear.

3. Press reset button for use. Do not use if above test fails.

WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a conductive fluid.

_&WARNING: DO NOT use wet cutting when using bonded abrasive blades. Wheel rupture and

personal injury may result.

iiWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known in 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.

iiWARNING: 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, Always

operate tool in well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible.
_ WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CONSERVER CES CONSIGNES

AIRE DE TRAVAIL

• L'aire de travail doff 6tre propre et bien eclairee. Les etablis encombres et les endroits
sombres peuvent entrMner des accidents.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner des outils electriques clans des atmospheres explosives,
comme en presence de liquides, de gaz et de poussieres inflammables. Les outils

electriques produisent des etincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussiere ou les vapeurs

• Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne a I'ecart Iorsqu'on utilise un
outil electrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maftrise de ce dernier.

MESURES DE SI_CURITI_ - I_LECTRICITI_

• Les outils a double isolation sont munis d'une fiche polarisee (c'est-a-dire que I'une
des lames est plus large que I'autre), laqueile ne peut 6tre raccordee qu'a une prise

polarisee et ce, clans un seul sens; on dolt I'inverser si on est incapable de I'enfoncer
completement. Si la fiche ne s'adapte toujours pas, on dolt faire appel a un electricien

qualifie pour qu'il instaile la prise appropriee. On ne dolt jamais modifier la fiche. La
double isolation [] elimine le besoin d'installer un cordon d'alimentation trifilaire et un

systeme d'alimentation electrique pourvus d'une mise a la terre.

• _:viter tout contact entre le corps et les elements mis a la terre, comme les tuyaux,
les radiateurs, les cuisinieres et les refrigerateurs, afin de reduire les risques de choc
electrique.

• Ne pas utiliser I'outil electrique clans des endroits mouilles, ni I'exposer a la pluie;
I'infiltration d'eau a I'interieur de I'outil augmente les risques de choc electrique.

• Ne pas utiliser le cordon de maniere abusive; on ne dolt pas transporter I'outil en le
tenant par le cordon, ou utiliser ce dernier pour le debrancher. On doit tenir le cordon

I'ecart des sources de chaleur, de I'huile, des bords tranchants ou des pieces mobiles.
Remplacer immediatement les cordons endommages, car ces derniers augmentent les

risques de choc electrique.

Lorsqu'on utilise un outil electrique a I'exterieur, on ne doff utiliser que des rallonges
con_ues pour cet usage, comme celles de type ,, W-A _,ou ,, W _,, afin de reduire /es
risques de choc electrique. S'assurer que la rallonge est en mesure de porter le courant
necessaire a Ibutil. Une rallonge de calibre inferieur entrafnera une chute de tension se
traduisant par une perte de puissance et une surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les
calibres que I'on doff utiliser selon la Iongueur de la rallonge et I'intensite nominale indiquee
sur la plaque signaletique. En cas de doute, utiliser le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit,
olus la rallonge peut porter de courant.

• DANGER! Eloigner les mains des zones et organes de coupe. Maintenir la deuxieme
main sur la poignee auxiliaire ou le boitier du moteur. Lorsque /es deux mains

maintiennent la scie, la lame ne peut les couper.

• Ne pas envoyer les mains sous la piece a usiner. Sous la piece, le dispositif de protection
ne peut vous proteger de la lame.

• Ne jamais maintenir la piece a decouper avec les mains ou les jambes. Arrimer la piece

usiner a une plateforme stable. II est important de maintenir le projet correctement pour

minimiser tout risque de dommages corporels, grippage de lame ou toute perte de contr&le
de I'outil.

• Tenir I'outil par les surfaces isolees prevues a cet effet pendant toute utilisation ob
I'organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact avec des ills electriques caches ou son

propre cordon. Tout contact avec un fil sous tension met les parties metalliques exposees

de I'outil sous tension et electrocutera I'utilisateur.

• Utiliser systematiquement des lames de taille adequate avec un alesage central
fa_onne (diamant par rapport a arrondi). Toute lame non con_ue pour la ferrure de fixation
de la scie fonctionnera de maniere excentrique et provoquera la perte de contrOle de I'outil.

• Ne jamais utiliser de rondeiles ou boulons de lame endommages ou inadequats. Les
rondelles et boulons de lame ont ete specialement con_us pour cette scie, pour optimiser ses

performances et sa securite d'emploL
