IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions
injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
2. WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
3. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool 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.
4. PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Tie up long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tools on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tools may result in personal injury.
balance enable better control of the tools in unexpected situation.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, Anti-skip safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used in appropriate conditions.
5. TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tools for your application. The correct tools will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tools accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
6. SERVICE
4
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the maintenance section of the manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
7. HOLD TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN
OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS
OWN CORD. CONTACT WITH A “LIVE” WIRE WILL MAKE EXPOSED METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL “LIVE” AND SHOCK THE OPERATOR.

DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on
cut by the blade. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not
in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See
Kickback.) Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the
blade below the work.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard

and “Compound Cuts.” Raise lower guard by Retracting Handle. As soon as blade
enters the material, lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Use
vises, clamps, or other appropriate supports to securely hold the workpiece.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) and arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.

proper precautions are taken.

and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check
or kickback from the work piece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before
