ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Tool plug must
If at
match outlet. Double-insulated tools have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), which must be plugged into a polarized outlet. Never modify plug. Do not use adapter for grounded tools. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter if opera­tion is unavoidable in damp locations. Avoid touching grounded surfaces when operating tool.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control. Wear hard hat as needed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using tools may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator, and con­nect tool to an appropriate dust collection device to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its intended purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury or death may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating tool. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make tool control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
SAFE HANDLING. Firmly grip tool. To avoid accidental firing, do not keep finger on switch or trigger while carrying.
FORCING TOOLS.. Use right tool for job, and do not force it. It will do job safer and better at rate for which it was designed.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use clamps or vises to secure workpiece. This protects hands and frees both of them to operate tool.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and cov­ers reduce accidental contact with mov­ing parts or flying debris. Ensure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep chil­dren and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using tool if they become a distraction.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this manual or manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase risk of serious injury.

Additional Safety for Cut-Off Saws

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during operation. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike operators or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
HAND & BODY POSITIONING. Keep
hands at least 4" from spinning saw blade and out of blade path when cutting. Only operate at front of tool. Never reach behind or around blade and never support the workpiece cross handed.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Always keep workpiece stationary, flat, and firmly held against table when cutting to avoid loss of control. Secure workpieces with clamps whenever possible. Do not perform any operation “freehand.” Only cut one workpiece at a time—do not cut stacks.
DULL/ DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Dull blades require more effort to perform cuts. Broken saw blade teeth can become deadly projectiles. Do not operate with damaged, cracked, or badly worn blades. Inspect for damage before each use.
BLADE GUARD. Make sure blade guard is installed, working correctly, and used for all cuts. Promptly repair or replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after servicing saw blade.
CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while changing saw blade can result in serious injury. Always disconnect power before changing blades and wear gloves to protect hands. Do not use blades with different diameters or arbor hole shapes/ sizes. Always ensure blade is oriented with marked blade rotation direction.
SAW OPERATION. Ensure saw is placed on level, firm work surface before use and clear all tools, wood scraps, etc., as debris can be thrown at high speeds. Always allow blade to reach full speed before contacting workpiece. When cut is finished, allow blade to completely stop before removing from workpiece. DO NOT stop with hand or workpiece.
JAMMED OR CUT-O FF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to blade con­tact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to completely stop before removing cut-off pieces. Unplug saw before working to free jammed pieces. Never use your hands to move cut-off pieces away from blade while saw is running. Do not use stop blocks that may wedge cut-off pieces against saw blade.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

SECTION 3: POWER SUPPLY

Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, shock, fire or damage to equipment may occur if tool is not properly grounded and connected to power supply.
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amper­age a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating .....................0.9A
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating. If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine dur­ing operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.
Serious injury could occur if you connect tool to power before com­pleting setup process. DO NOT con­nect to power until instructed later in this manual.
110V Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply cir cuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
Voltage ..........................110V, 115V, 120V
Cycle .................................................60 Hz
Phase ...................................Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit ................ 15 Amps
A power supply circuit includes all electri­cal equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
For your own safety and protection of property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring prac­tices or electrical codes in your area.
Note: The circuit requirements listed in
this manual apply to a dedicated circuit— where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Polarized Plug Extension Cords
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has 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 quali­fied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
When ser vicing use only identical replace­ment parts.
5-15 Receptacle
1-15 Plug
Hot
Neutral
Figure 1. Typical 1-15 plug and
receptacle.
When using extension cords, make sure the cords are rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are marked with a "W-A" or a "W" to signify their rating. Always check to make sure that the exten­sion cords are in good working order and free of any type of damage, such as exposed wires, cuts, creased bends, or missing prongs.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes. When using extension cords, always choose the shortest cord possible, with the greatest­sized gauge.
Below is a list of minimum gauge sizes needed for running this tool at different lengths:
25 Feet .......................................... 16AWG
50 Feet .......................................... 14AWG
100 Feet ........................................ 12AWG
Over 100 Feet ........... Not Recommended
