manship and quality of materials under normal use for
a period of six months from the date of purchase. Not
covered is the motor or motor brushes. Burnt motors
or worn-out brushes will be repaired at a charge.
Any parts of this saw found defective subject to the
guarantee will be replaced at no charge. Credit in full
or part can not be extended by the distributor, nor will
a new saw be given as a replacement or loaner.
Saws subject to this warranty must be accompanied

DATE OF MFG.
Plunge to appropriate depth. Always move the saw from
left to right only.
Do not force the saw; let blade cut at highest RPM possible.
Remove the saw from the cut, and release the switch to stop.
When the switch is released, the motor and the blade
coast to a stop.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE.
THE BLADE CAN CUT YOU AS LONG AS IT IS TURNING.
Do not remove a hand from the handles to clear debris
until the saw is moved away and the blade is stopped.
If the saw is dropped, the blade guard may be bent or
otherwise damaged, restricting full return. Sawdust that ac-
cumulates behind the blade guard will cause it to become
clogged, especially drywall dust. Check operation of the
blade guard before each use. Do not use saw if the blade
guard does not operate properly. When not in use, store saw
in the custom carrying case. If the switch malfunctions, the
saw motor may continue running even after being switched
off. Turn off by unplugging. Repair the switch immediately!
Do not use the saw with a faulty switch.
