WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropri-
ate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Power Supply
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
120 volts, “60 Hz” means alternating current (normal 120 volt, 60
Hz house current).
A voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause a loss of power
and overheating.
Cutting Capacity
The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting
capacity for many large pieces. Use the cutting capacity chart to
determine total maximum size of cuts that can be made with a
new wheel.
CAUTION: CERTAIN LARGE, CIRCULAR OR IRREGULARLY
SHAPED OBJECTS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL HOLDING
MEANS IF THEY CANNOT BE HELD SECURELY IN VISE.
CAUTION: DO NOT CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
