SAFETY (Continued)
Saw Preparation/Condition
.
13. Check out the cut-off saw before use. Never use a saw that is damaged, faultily adjusted, or
not completely and securely assembled. Guards and other parts must operate properly and
perform their intended function. Check for~misalignment or binding of moving parts, loose
mounting or any other condition that may affect operation. Any damaged part should be re-
paired or replaced by an authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on and off. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.
14. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw
before turning it on.
15. Never use the saw without the guard. The guard must be adjusted so that its rear section is
close to the work piece.
16. Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
CHECKING WHEEL
A DAMAGED WHEEL
17. Use only cutter wheels that have been approved for hand-held, portable, high speed cut-off
saws. Never exceed the maximum operating speed established for the wheel. Inspect all
wheels before mounting for possible damage in transit. Do not use a wheel that has been
dropped.
Always allow a newly mounted abrasive wheel to run at operating speed with guard in place
for at least 30 seconds before you start to use it. Never start the tool with a person, including
the operator, in line with the wheel.
19. Do not use carbide tipped wheels.
19. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended and marked for outdoor use.
