cutting operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.

14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when
practical. This safety precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

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

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition
for maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

17. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF
position before plugging in.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recom­ mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may increase risk of injury.

20. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TOOL for the job you are doing.

21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged part(s), (i.e.,
guard) should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mo­ ving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced.

23. Replace damaged wheels/cutters immediately.
DO NOT USE DAMAGED WHEELS/CUTTERS. They may cause bodily injury.

24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the wheel/cutter against the direction of
rotation of the wheel/cuter only.

25. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

26. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec­ trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Ins­ ulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.

Grounding Tools
Electrical Powered Connections

Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must have fitted a three
wired power cord. The main importance of this is the green wire within the cord, this
green wire must at all times be connected to the grounding prong of the plug. This
prong must never be removed or discarded. The green wire Must NEVER be conn­ected to any other prong. The Three prong plug must only be connected to the power
supply through a three prong power outlet.
The Illustration above shows a three prong plug and outlet.

3 Prong Plug and Outlet

Only use qualified repair agents to service this power tool.
Only use qualified electrician to repair any damaged wiring.
NEVER remove the grounding prong from the power toll or extension cord.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will 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 product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated in Table1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

8

Following this guide will greatly reduce your risk of electric shock or injury.

Grounding Instructions

Any electric powered tool that is marked Ground Required must be grounded In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, groundingprovides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Power Extension Cords

Any electric powered tool that is marked Double insulated only need a two prong
connection and will be perfectly safe to operate.

These tools do not require grounding as they are fitted with an additional insulation
system internally that complies with all relevant electrical safety standards.

Unlike the three prong tools these tools CAN be connected through outlets suitable
for two prong or three prong plugs.

The Illustration above shows the outlets that this type of tool can be connected to.

Double Insulated Power Tools
Plug and outlet, 2 prong

Any power tool marked ‘Grounding required’ MUST only be connected to a three wire
extension cord. Only double insulated tools can be connected to two wire cords.
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to the
drop in voltage caused by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by selecting
extension cords with lower gauge wire.

only and not for any cutting operations.

10. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked
or damaged blade immediately.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.

Additional Safety rules for Laser

WARNING: This saw is equipped with a Laser light, DO NOT stare into the beam because

serious injury may occur.

11

12. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw blade is driven back
rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control and serious personal injury can result.
If blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and release
switch immediately.

13. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

14. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage.

15. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable work platform or bench.
NEVER use tool where operator positioning would be awkward.

16. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the table top before
operation.

17. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before
operation.

18. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.

19. Hold the handle firmly. The saw moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.

20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.

23. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.

25. Stay alert. Blades are extremely dangerous

26. Use only accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories
such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

27. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade with left hand or vice versa. This is
called cross armed cutting and exposes user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece.

28. Do not abuse cord. Never pull on the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects.

29. Some materials contain chemicals which may be toxic. Take appropriate measures
