ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ASSEMBLY
To Install / replace the Blade
See Figures 11 - 12, pages 19 - 20.
WARNING:
A 5 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guard, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS
This product has been designed only for the purpose listed below:
Cutting laminate, engineered, and solid, hardwood flooring material
WARNING:
NEVER make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury.
AVOIDING KICKBACK
Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer. Never saw into a loose knot or nail.
Always use the fence when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the wood in the cut.
Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.
To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut.
When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.
Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
Use extra caution when cutting some prefinished or composition wood products as the anti-kickback pawls may not always be effective.
Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a
balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.
Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate, and any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may gather.
Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
Always use the riving knife for every operation where it is allowed. The use of this device will greatly reduce the risk of kickback.
cutting aids
See Figure 15, page 21.
Push sticks are devices that may be used for pushing a workpiece through the blade in any rip cut. When ripping narrow stock, always use a push stick or push block so your hands do not come within 3 inches of the saw blade. They can be made in various sizes and shapes from scrap wood and used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90˚ notch in one end and shaping for a grip on the other end.
A push block has a handle fastened by recessed screws from the underside. Use push blocks for narrow cuts and all non-through cuts.
CAUTION:
Be sure the screws in a push block are recessed to avoid damaging the saw or workpiece.
