GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

re, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your corded 14” Cut Off Saw.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work area safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit.a. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in theb.

presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.c.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety2.

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.a.

Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, rangesb.

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.c. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling ord.

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.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable fore.

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operatinga.

a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the

inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.b. Safety equipment

such as dust mask, full face shield, non-skid safety shoes, work gloves,

or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

Page 4SKU 96971 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position beforec.

plugging in. Plugging in power tools with the power switch on, invites

accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.d. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.e. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,f.

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collectiong.

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

devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.a.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.b. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making anyc.

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allowd.

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,e.

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.f. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with theseg.

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,

taking into 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.

Service5.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only a.

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

VIBRATION HAZARD

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may

cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms

and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should rst 1.

be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure

medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women

or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,

nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this

tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as

tingling, numbness, and white or blue ngers), seek medical advice as soon as

possible.

Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and2.

ngers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.3.

Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different4.

processes.

Include vibration-free periods each day of work.5.

Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool6.

do the work.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any7.

abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety1.

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a

replacement.

Examine before and after installation and before use for cracks, breaks, nicks,5.

or fractures. If any exist, do not use; the Cutting Wheel could shatter, causing

serious injury and/or property damage. Discard if dropped, struck with hard

surface, or exposed to moisture.

Straight cut only; never bend the Cutting Wheel. Do not grind on side of the6.

Cutting Wheel.

Always use Cutting Wheels with a 14” diameter, 1” Spindle, and rated at a7.

minimum of 3,900 RPM. Cutting Wheels that do not match the mounting

hardware of the Saw or that are rated at less than the Saw’s maximum RPM may

y off the Saw or may run poorly, causing loss of control.

For metal cutting use only. Do not use to cut wood, masonry, magnesium, plastic8.

or any other non-ferrous material. Never mount any Cutting Wheel not intended

for metal cutting.

Do not stand in line of Cutting Wheel when machine is started.9.

Check Swing Guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the Saw13.

if the Swing Guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie

the Swing Guard into the open position.

Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn14.

off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

Use the built-in clamp or other practical ways to secure and support the15.

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.16.

People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.17.

Electromagnetic elds in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with

pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Do not use with power switch locked on.

• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.

• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other18.

construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] 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 or other masonry products

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

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 those dust masks that

are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles. (California Health &

Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual19.

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be

understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which

cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

GROUNDING

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in

electric shock.

Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify

the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove

the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if

the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it

repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not

t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong1.

grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If

the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric

shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the2.

cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the

only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached

to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

WARNING

Page 8SKU 96971 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and3.

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet

should look like those in the following illustration.

(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

3-Prong Plug and Outlet Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special1.

double insulation system which satises OSHA requirements and complies

with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian

Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.

(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the2.

preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can

use either a two or three wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge2.

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.3.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Table A.)

When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make4.

sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate5.

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

(See Table A.)

Page 9SKU 96971 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the6.

sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.7.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualied

electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet8.
