General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power
tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a. 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.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

b. Avoid body 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

d. 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.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

aunavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD)protected supply.Use of an RCD reduces the

risk of electric shock.

Note: The term "Residual Curent Device (RCD)" can be
replaced by "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)" or by
"Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)".

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools

with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power

toolin unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices

can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b. 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.

c. 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

(Original instructions) ENGLISH

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in

accordance with these instructions, takinginto
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Additional safety instruction for chopsaws

• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.

• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the

wheel. The wheel should also be inspected
whenever you think the tool may have been
dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.

• When starting the tool with a new or replacement

wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the
wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it
run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected

crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute.

Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel.
This includes the operator.

• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it

rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool andinspect

the wheel for cracks or flaws.

During use

• If the saw blade becomes blocked, switch off the tool

immediately and disconnect the plug; only then remove
the wedged workpiece.

• In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical

malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and
disconnect the plug.

• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure

in this manual.

• Do not remove wheel guards or base.

• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO
CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring,

bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes
and shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and
placing these clamps and make a dry run before making
a cut.

• Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm or higher.

• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.

• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool.

• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.

• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.

• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the

base.

• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.

• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed

blades with this tool.Serious injury may result.

• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST.Sparks or hot chips from

cutting or arcing motor brushes may ignite combustible
materials.

• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring

grinder. This will substantially weaken the wheel creating
an unsafe condition. The wheel may come apart.

Caution: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration

ofuse, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

Caution:Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid

touching or adjusting while hot. Keep cordset

and materials away from spark deflector.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing

dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

Vibration

The declared vibration emission values stated in the
technical data and the declaration of conformity have been
measured in accordance with a standard test method

provided by EN 61029 and may be used for comparing one

tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level
may increase above the level stated.

When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety

measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons

regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the
tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time.

Electrical safety

Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must bereplaced

by the manufacturer, authorized Stanley Service Center or

an equally qualified person in order to avoid damage or
injury.If the power cord is replaced by an equally qualified

person, but not authorized by Stanley, the warranty will not
be valid.
