WARNING! Read and understand all the instructions before attempting to as-
semble or operate the tool. Failure to follow the instructions listed below could
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
WORK AREA
1. KEEPYOUR WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it
is in operation.
2. DO NOT OPERATE POWERTOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH
AS IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Power
tools create sparks, which could ignite dust or fumes.
3. KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAYWHILE OPERATING
A POWERTOOL. Distractions could cause you to lose control.
4. STORE IDLETOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND OTHER UNTRAINED PERSONS. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. NEVER LEAVETHE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.TURN THE POWER OFF.
Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE TOOL, BE CERTAIN THE OUTLETVOLTAGE
SUPPLIED IS COMPATIBLE WITHTHE VOLTAGE MARKED ON THE NAMEPLATEWITHIN 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified on the
nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.
2. GROUNDINGTOOLS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THREE-PRONG PLUG (THE
GROUNDING BLADE IS THE LONGEST OFTHE 3 BLADES). This plug will fit
into a three-hole electrical receptacle. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug
does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
3. AVOID BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES SUCH AS PIPES,
RADIATORS, RANGES AND REFRIGERATORS. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
4. DO NOT EXPOSE POWERTOOLS TO RAIN ORWET CONDITIONS. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. DO NOT ABUSETHE CORD. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
6. WHEN OPERATING A POWERTOOL OUTSIDE, USE AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD MARKED “W-A” OR “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock.

CAUTION! The Cross Pin should always be activated in the “locked
down” position when the Saw is not being used and when the Saw is
being transported. The Cross Pin should be activated in the “locked up”
position only when changing Saw Blades. NEVER use the Cross Pin in
any cutting operation. The Cross Pin allows the operator to lock the Saw
Blade in position, preventing the Saw Blade from being raised or lowered. (See
Figures 6 and 7.)
