SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks,
that may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid bodily contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

dust-collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Dust-collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
job. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it On and
Off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
people unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Locating the chop saw near an electrical
outlet will eliminate the need for an
extension cord.
Hot metal sparks and sharp metal pieces
will damage the work surface to some
degree. Make sure you consider this fact
when selecting the work surface. A nonflammable surface, such as a metal bench,
will be less likely to be damaged during
cutting.
WARNING!
Always disconnect your chop saw from the
power source when carrying it to another
location, replacing the cut-o blade,
clamping material in the vise, adjusting the
guard, cleaning or when not in use.
Disconnecting the chop saw will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING!
The chop saw is very heavy. For safety in
carrying the chop saw, always lift it using
one hand on the carrying handle and the
other under the base.

The maximum cut depth is controlled by
adjusting the depth stop.
1. Lift the swing arm (1) upward as far as
it will go.
2. Loosen the depth stop lock nut (2) by
turning it counter-clockwise using a
14 mm wrench.
3. Turn the depth stop screw (3) to raise
or lower it. Adjust until the cut-o
blade enters the base slot no more
than 3/16” (5 mm) when the swing
arm is fully lowered and contacts the
top of the depth stop screw.
4. When the depth stop screw is
correctly set, lock it in place by
tightening the lock nut clockwise.
WARNING!
Never place the chop saw near any
flammable liquids or items that can be
damaged by the sparks thrown by the chop
