VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user
-
as well as damage to
the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

1.
Wear eye protection.
2.
Do
not operate saw without guards
3.
Don't use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
5.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.

1.
Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base
12.
Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly
during start-up and stopping.
13.
Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
14.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade.
It
can still cause severe injury.

Wait
until
the blade attains full speed before cutting.
19.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
20.
Do
not attempt to lock the trigger
21.
Shut off power and wait for saw blade to stop before servicing or adjusting
tool.
22.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations.
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.

action
The hex lock nut which holds the blade case
and the arm together has been factory adjusted to assure smooth handle action up and
down and to guarantee precise cutting.
Do
not tamper it. Should looseness develop at
the blade case and arm connection, tighten
a
the hex lock nut using
wrench while holding
the bolt with another wrench. After adjusting
the hex lock nut, be sure that the handle
returns automatically to the initial, raised
position from any position.
If
the hex lock nut
is too loose, the cutting accuracy will be
affected; if it is too tight, it
will
be difficult to work the handle up and down. Note that this
is
self locking nut. It is a special type that does not loosen during normal use. It should not be
overtightened or replaced with other types of nuts. The ideal amount to tighten the hex lock
nut is: tight enough to just barely prevent any bining
of
the handle action when the handle is
moved up or down.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes
regularly. Replace when they wear down to
the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes
clean
and
free to slip in the holders. Both
carbon brushes should be replaced at the

brushes.
