SAFETY

When Operating Your Saw
Avoid injury from unexpected saw movement
●
Use the saw on a firm level surface with adequate
space for handling and supporting the workpiece.
●
Be sure the saw cannot move when operated.
Before moving the saw
●
Unplug the power cord from the electrical source.
●
Lock the handle in the down position using the
handle latch.
Avoid back injury
●
Obtain help when it is necessary to raise the saw
more than 10 inches (254 mm).
●
Bend your knees when lifting the saw.
●
Carry your saw by the carrying handle or base. Do
not carry your saw by the power cord or the trigger
handle. Carrying the saw by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
Whenever the Saw is Running
WARNING:
Do not make a careless error just because
you operate the saw frequently. A neglectful moment can cause a
severe injury.
Prior to cutting a workpiece
●
Test the operation of your saw. If you feel excessive
vibration or hear an unusual noise, immediately
stop operating the saw. Correct the problem before
using.
Allow movement of the waste portion of the
workpiece
●
Do not hold it, clamp it, touch it or use a length stop
against it. The cut-off waste portion must be free to
move. It could become wedged against the disc
causing a hazard.
Use care when cutting
●
Flying sparks will occur when cutting. They can
cause injury and ignite flammable materials.
●
Never use a circular saw blade or tooth-type blade
in the chop saw.
●
Use only abrasive cutting discs rated at 3500 RPM
or higher.
Avoid awkward operation
●
Make sure your hand is never closer than 4 inches
(102 mm) from the disc.
●
Do not cross your arms in front of the disc while
operating the saw.
Do not force the disc through the workpiece
●
Lower the disc through the workpiece fast enough
to allow it to cut without binding or bogging down.
Before removing obstructed material
●
Release the trigger switch/start button, wait for the
disc to stop moving, and unplug the power cord
from the electric outlet.
After completing a cut
●
Keep the handle in the down position. Release the
trigger switch/start button and wait for the disc to
stop moving.
●
Do not touch workpiece after cutting. It is hot and
could burn skin.
