GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, ﬁre, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

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

SKU 45804 PAGE 2

REV 07j

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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. 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 qualiﬁed 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.

6. 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.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools

or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately.

Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

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

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use a power 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.

SKU 45804 PAGE 3

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

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning the Power Switch (179) “ON”.

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

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

15. Always wear eye, hearing, and breathing protection. Wear ANSI approved

safety impact eye glasses, ANSI approved hearing protectors, and ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when using this product. Also, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways 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.

17. Do not force the 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. There are certain applications for which this saw was designed. Do not use this saw to do the work of a larger saw. Do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.

Do not force the material into the Saw Blade when cutting. Apply moderate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced.

18. Do not use power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

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

21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

SKU 45804 PAGE 4

22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

23. 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

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

25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A, next page.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

SKU 45804 PAGE 5

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

FIGURE A

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisﬁes OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

following illustration. (See Figure B.)

FIGURE B

SKU 45804 PAGE 6

EXTENSION CORDS

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools

can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure C)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure C, and Figure D.)

4. If using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure

each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Figure C, and Figure D.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the sufﬁx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualiﬁed electrician before using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
