Safety Instructions
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating machinery.
Eye wear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses
with side shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifi cations.
Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifi cations could result in severe injury from breakage of eye
protection.
2. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts and cutting
surfaces.
3. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or jewelry which can
be caught in moving parts. Rubber soled footwear is recommended for best footing.
4. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper working position
can cause you to fall into the machine or cause your clothing to
get caught - pulling you into the machine.
5. Keep guards in place and in proper working order. Do not operate the machine with guards removed.
6. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not use stationary machine tools in wet or damp locations. Keep work areas
clean and well lit. Special electrics should be used when working on fl ammable materials.
7. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start switch is “OFF”
before plugging in the machine.
8. Never leave the machine running while unattended. Machine
shall be shut off whenever it is not in operation.
9. Disconnect electrical power before servicing. Whenever
changing accessories or general maintenance is done on the
machine, electrical power to the machine must be disconnected before work is done.
10. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all maintenance
instructions for lubricating and the changing of accessories.
No attempt shall be made to modify or have makeshift repairs
done to the machine. This not only voids the warranty but also
renders the machine unsafe.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to
operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips while the machine is in operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the machine back on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job
it was not designed for.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow manufacturer’s
instructions pertaining to them.
17. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work
area. Make workshop completely safe by using padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
18. Know the tool you are using - its application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
19. 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 ma-
sonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
20. 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 dust masks that are specifi -
cally designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.
General Electrical Cautions
This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be
done by a qualifi ed electrician. The saw should be grounded to
protect the user from electrical shock.
Wire Sizes
Caution: for circuits which are far away from the electrical service
box, the wire size must be increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor
overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or
electrical extension cords according to the following table is recommended:
Conductor
Length
0-50 feet
50-100 feet
Over 100 feet
AWG (American Wire Gauge) Number
240 Volt lines 120 Volt lines
No. 14 No. 14
No. 14 No. 12
No. 12 No. 8

Safety Instructions
Misuse of this machine can cause serious injury.
For safety, this machine must be set up, used and properly serviced.
Read, understand and follow instructions in the Parts and Maintenance manual.
DISCONNECT POWER before adjusting or servicing the saw or
changing a blade.
STAY CLEAR of all moving parts. Keep hands and fi ngers away
form the saw blade.
WHEN MOVING SAW, with hinged frame (saw head), secure the
head in its down position.
WHEN CUTTING MAGNESIUM, take special precautions. Use a
sharp saw blade, make only dry cuts, prevent chip accumulation,
and keep fi re-fi ghting equipment nearby.
THIS SAW SHOULD BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
CORD CONNECTED TOOLS. If the saw is equipped with an ap-
proved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug, it
should only be connected to a properly equipped and grounded
receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green wire to a live terminal.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord having a 3-pronged receptacle, a
3-pronged plug and ample amperage rating. Replace or repair a
damaged or worn cord immediately.
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TOOLS. The saw should be connected to a grounded, metal-enclosed wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the saw’s grounding terminal or lead.
To reset the manual starter after a power interruption, return the
switch to OFF and press the RESET button before restarting.
KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit.
Check to see that all keys and wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning the tool on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benched invite
accidents.
A VOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep your work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF with padlocks, master switches,
or by removing starter keys form tools.
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed
4
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t use a tool a or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get
caught in moving parts. Rubber-soled footwear is recommended
for best footing.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. Provide
adequate support to prevent injury from falling work pieces.

RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Un-crating
Carefully remove the protective crating and skid so the saw and its parts are not marred or otherwise damaged. In the event of damage
in transit, notify the carrier and fi le a Proof of Loss Claim immediately.
Shortages
Inspect the complete shipment carefully against the itemized packing list. Make sure that all items are present and in good condition. In
