workpiece shift after it is cut in two. 

 c. Use jigs, fixture or a different tool for 

unstable workpieces. 

   

• 

Never cut more than one workpiece at a 

time. 

   

• 

Make sure the cut-off piece can move 

sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it 

could get wedged against the blade and 

thrown violently. 

   

• 

Make sure bystanders are clear of the 

tool and workpiece. Keep them clear of 

the area behind the saw where debris will 

be thrown. 

   

• 

Never turn your metal saw “ON” before 

clearing everything except the workpiece 

and related support devices off the able. 

D.  To avoid risk of hearing damage, war ear 

plugs or muffs during extended period of 

operation. 

E.  To avoid being suddenly pulled into the 

blade. 

1.   Do not wear gloved. 

2.   Remove all jewelry and loose clothing. 

3.   Tie back long hair. 

4.   Roll long sleeves above the elbow. 

F.  To avoid injury from accidental starting, 

always unplug saw before disconnecting 

the guard, installing or removing any 

blade, accessory or attachment, or 

making any adjustment. 

G.  To avoid an electrical shock, make sure 

your fingers do not touch the metal 

prongs on the plug when inserting or 

removing the plug to or from a live outlet. 

H.  Never put lubricants on the blade while it 

is spinning. 

I.  To avoid burns or other fire damage, 

never use the saw near flammable liquids, 

vapors or gases. 

J.  To avoid injury from unsafe accessories 

use only accessories shown on the 

recommended accessories list in this 

manual. 

Whenever saw is running 

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity 

(gained from frequent use of your 

metal saw) to cause a careless 

mistake. Always remember that a 

careless fraction of a second is 

enough to cause a severe injury. 

   

1.  Before actually cutting with the saw, let it 

run for a while. If your saw makes an 

unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates 

excessively, stop immediately. Turn the 

saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart 

until finding and correcting the problem. 

2.  Never confine the piece being cut out. 

Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use 

length stops against it. It must be free to 

move sideways. If confined, it could get 

wedged against the blade and thrown 

violently. 

3.  Avoid awkward hand positions where a 

sudden slip could cause a hand to move 

into the blade. 

4.  Let the blade reach full speed before 

cutting. 

5.  Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast 

enough to let the blade cut without 

bogging down or binding. 

6.  Before freeing jammed material, release 

switch and unplug the saw. Wait for all 

moving parts to stop. 

7.  After finishing a cut, keep holding the 

power head down, release the switch, 

and wait for all moving parts to stop 

before moving your hands. 

 

WARNING:

 Read the following warning 

labels found on the front of the saw.
