SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS TOOL SHOULD BE
GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. The tool

is equipped with an approved three-conductor
cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding type receptacle. The green
(or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 Volts, the
power cord is equipped with a plug that has two
flat, parallel current-carrying prongs and one
longer, round or “U”-shaped, ground prong which
requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 1.

An adapter, shown in Fig. 2, is available for
connecting 3-prong grounding type plugs that are
used on units less than 150 Volts to 2-prong
receptacles. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED
IN CANADA. The green colored rigid ear, lug, etc.,
must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in
Fig. 2.

If your unit is for use on 150 to 250 Volts, the
power cord is equipped with a plug that has two
flat current carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or “U”-shaped, longer ground prong, as
shown in Fig. 3. This plug is used only with the
proper mating 3-conductor grounding type
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 3. No adapter is
available for this type plug.

WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG FROM
POWER PLUG.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacle
which accept the tool’s plug. Replace damaged or worn cord immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR
POWER CORD.

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the
tool’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole

electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “ON”.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose

them to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work
area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.

10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get

caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.

13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and
frees both hands to operate tool.

14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.

18. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord.

19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally

contacted.

20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.

22. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

23. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

24. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted,
connected or reconnected.

25. WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR “DRY-CUT” SAWS

1. WARNING: Do not operate your dry-cut saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the

instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of “dry-cut” metal cutting machines, obtain advice
from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.

3. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, HEARING PROTECTION, face shield, respirator, body apron, head covering,
safety shoes, and long tight-fitting sleeves.

4. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED carbide tipped metal cutting blades, rated at 1500 RPM or higher.

5. TIGHTEN ARBOR SCREW and all clamps before operating.

6. MAKE SURE spindle lock is disengaged before operating.

7. KEEP HANDS OUT of the path of saw blade.

8. SECURE WORK PIECE PROPERLY. Work should be straight and firmly clamped to avoid possible

movement and pinching as the cut nears completion.

9. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the sides of the saw table for long workpiece.

10. NEVER CUT ANYTHING FREEHAND.

11. NEVER REACH behind or beneath the blade.

12. MAKE SURE the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing workpiece, or changing

workpiece angle.

13. MAKE SURE the inside surfaces of the blade flanges as well as the sides of the blade are free from any
foreign matter.

14. ALWAYS CHECK THE BLADE for cracks or other damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately.

15. MAKE SURE blade is not contacting workpiece before switch is turned on.

16. ALLOW THE MOTOR to come up to full speed before starting cut.

17. AFTER TURNING MACHINE ON, gently lower the blade to engage workpiece, then slowly increase

pressure as required to produce the least amount of “sparking”.

18. IMPORTANT: After completing the cut, release power switch and wait for coasting blade to stop
completely, before returning saw to the raised position.

19. NEVER OPERATE the machine in an area with flammable solids, liquids or gases. Sparks or hot fragments
could cause a fire or explosion.

20. THIS TOOL is designed for ferrous metals only. DO NOT attempt to cut wood, masonry, aluminum or
magnesium with this tool.

21. SHOULD ANY PART of your machine be missing, damaged or fail in any way, or any electrical component
fail to perform properly, shut-off switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged
or failed parts before resuming operation.

22. NEVER CONFINE THE PIECE BEING CUT OFF. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length stops
against it while the blade is turning. It must be free to move sideways. If confined, it could wedge against the
blade and be thrown violently.

23. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from
the National Safety Council, 444 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611, in the Accident Prevention Manual
for Industrial Operation and also in the Safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the
