• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use
this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure he or she has these instructions also.
• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the machine
to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could cause serious injury.
• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. Severe personal injury may result.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, return the saw head to the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.
• ALWAYS make sure that the mitre table and head assembly (bevel function) are locked in position
BEFORE operating your saw. Lock the mitre table by securely tightening the mitre locking handle. Lock
the head assembly (bevel function) by securely tightening the bevel locking knob.
• SUPPORT long workpieces when cutting to minimize the risk of blade pinching or kickback. The saw
may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.
• AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to hit
the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. NEVER operate your saw on the floor or in a
crouched position.
• NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
• DO NOT turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the blade to loosen, which could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a complete
stop. Disconnect the saw from the power source and tighten the blade bolt securely.
• NEVER lift this tool by gripping the switch handle or by the mitre fence. This may cause misalignment.
ALWAYS lock the head assembly in the “DOWN” position and carry the saw by holding the base or lift it
using the carrying handle/support bracket.
• ALWAYS check the tool for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by a qualified person.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
SAFETY GUIDELINES SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING!
Cutting plastics, sap-coated wood, and other materials may cause melted material to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade
overheating and binding while cutting.
WARNING!
Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
WARNING!
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3).
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING!
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
