WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, 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, cement, and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

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.

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,

limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future reference.

2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.

3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-

hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet

the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.

Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.

6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.

7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.

8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.

10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

11. Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

12. DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair

away from moving parts.

15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check

that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good

condition. Use the “Extension Cord Requirements” table below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and lock mobile base from freely rolling before using

your machine.

18. DO NOT leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. DO NOT operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men- tioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the

machine! Contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22. Habits are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and consistent safety practices will

become second-nature to you.

Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

SAFETY

-7-

1. SAW SAFETY BEGINS WITH YOUR LUMBER. Inspect your workpiece carefully before you feed it into

the saw. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your workpiece, DO NOT SAW IT!

2. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand

to move into the blade. Always make sure you have good balance.

3. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. DO NOT hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go

under the blade guard. DO NOT reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason.

4. FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your saw to a stable, level workbench or table. The best height is waist

level.

5. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the correct blade size, style and cutting speed for the material

and type of cut.

6. ALWAYS SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES while cutting to minimize blade pinching and blade break-

age. The saw may slip, walk or slide when cutting large or heavy workpieces.

7. DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED CUT-OFF PIECES UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

8. NEVER START THE SAW WHEN THE BLADE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.

9. BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADES, unplug the saw from the power source and remove the switch safety key.

10. NEVER PERFORM CUTTING OPERATIONS WITH THE BLADE GUARD REMOVED.

11. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION in people and animals,

especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to and always wear an approved respirator

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
