Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on the bench or on the floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes
for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
Never operate the saw while it is being carried to another location. The blade guard
may be open and potentially cause serious injury.
If the switch fails to turn the saw ON or OFF properly, stop using it immediately and
have the saw switch repaired.
Always allow the saw to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
Never use the side of the blade for cutting. When making horizontal cuts, make sure
the weight of the tool is not forcing the side of the blade to do the cutting. This will
reduce the risk of kickback.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the area of the workpiece to be cut.
Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete, stone, etc. The protruding
blade may cause tool to jump.
DANGER: To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the plug
from the power source before making any adjustments and before installing or
removing a saw blade.
When replacing the blade, make sure the replacement blade is 7 1/4" in diameter
and is rated for 7,000 RPM. Installing an incorrect blade will result in possible
injury and poor cutting action.
After changing a blade or making adjustments make sure the blade clamp screw
is securely tightened. Loose blades and adjustment devices will be violently thrown.
Never touch the blade during or immediately after use. After use the blade is too
hot to be safely touched with bare hands.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is the proper size. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table on at right shows the correct size to use according to cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician
before using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15A time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.
