GENERAL SAFETY RULES USA002-2
(For All Tools)
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
Work A re a
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci­dents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powe r
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety
4. 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 insula-
tion eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7. 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.
8. 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.
Personal Safety
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Disconnect the 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.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. 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.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser­viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. 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
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24. 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.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 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. Table 1 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES USB072-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to cutter safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and wheel. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by the wheel.
2. Keep your body positioned to either side of the wheel, but not in line with the wheel.
KICKBACK could cause the tool to jump backwards. (See Causes and Operator Pre­vention of Kickback”)

3. Do not reach underneath the work. Do not attempt to remove cut material when wheel is moving. CAUTION: Wheels coast after turn off.
4. Always observe that the wheel has stopped spinning before placing tool down on bench or floor. A coasting wheel
will cause the tool to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the wheel to stop after switch is released.
5. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure, wheel binding, or loss of control.
6. 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 live wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.
7. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for wheel binding.
8. Always use wheels with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.
Wheels that do not match the mounting hard­ware of the tool will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
9. Never use damaged or incorrect wheel washers or bolts. The wheel washers and
bolt were specially designed for your tool, for optimum performance and safety of opera­tion.
10. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kick­back:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned wheel, causing an uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the work­piece toward the operator. When the wheel is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the wheel stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. If the wheel becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the wheel can dig into the top surface of the material being cut causing the wheel to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precau­tions as given below:
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and posi-
tion your body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces
can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When wheel is binding, or when interrupt­ing a cut for any reason, release the trig­ger and hold the tool motionless in the material until the wheel comes to a com­plete stop. Never attempt to remove the tool from the work or pull the tool back­ward while the wheel is in motion or KICK­BACK may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
When restarting a tool in the workpiece, center the wheel in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material. If
wheel is binding, it may walk up or KICK­BACK from the workpiece as the tool is restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and KICKBACK. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. To minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the tool on the workpiece, the tool shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
Do not use dull or damaged wheel.
Unsharpened or improperly set wheels pro­duce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, wheel binding and KICKBACK.
Wheel depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If wheel adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.
Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut objects
that can cause KICKBACK.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the tool. If kickback occurs, the tool could
easily jump backwards over your hand, lead­ing to serious personal injury.
