General Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH: Test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) before each
use. The GFCI does not protect against electrical shock due to contact with both circuit conductors or a
fault in any wiring supplying in this device. Do not alter or disable the GFCI. Do not use an extension cord.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM KICKBACK: Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
When cutting concrete blocks, tiles or masonry materials, do not make a cut in depth more
than 2-3/8
″
(60 mm).
For workpieces over 2-3/8
″
(60 mm) up to 4
″
(100 mm), make more than two passes of cuts.
The depth of the most efficient cut is about 1-9/16
″
(40 mm).
This tool must only be used on horizontal surfaces.
1. Make all necessary adjustments to the Saw.
2. Make sure that all guards are in place in
proper working order and that all adjustment
knobs are tight before operation.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not
start the Saw if the Wheel is in contact with anything.
4. Firmly grip the Main Handle with one hand and
the Auxiliary Handle with the other hand.
5. Squeeze Trigger to turn on the Saw.
To stop the Saw, release the Trigger.
Note:
If the unit does not turn on or turns
off suddenly, turn Power Switch to OFF
position, then check and reset the GFCI.
6. Allow the Saw Wheel to reach full speed before
feeding Saw Wheel into the workpiece.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: If Wheel binds, hold saw
motionless and release Trigger. Wait for
the Wheel to come to a complete stop.
7. Make straight cuts only. DO NOT twist Saw while
cutting. If this occurs, the Saw Wheel will “bind” in
the workpiece causing kickback, potential injury,
and/or damage to the workpiece and Saw.
8. Do not force the Saw to cut faster than it
is designed to cut. Feed the Saw Wheel
gradually into the workpiece.
9. Release Trigger if the Saw Wheel is to be backed
out of an uncompleted cut. Wait until the Wheel
stops spinning before removing the Saw. Do
not press against the Wheel to stop it.
10.
Overload Warning
a. The warning light will flash red
when the full load is reached.
b. When full load is exceeded, the motor will shut
down and warning light will be on solid red.
c. To avoid damaging the motor after the Saw
has stopped due to over heating, always
cool the motor by running it at no load
for a few minutes before continuing.
