mounting and any other conditions that may affect the saw’s operation.
20. Keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
22. Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction
of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
HEALTH NOTICE:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals
known 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
─Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
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 equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
ELECTRICAL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE
to the power source, verify
that the voltage of your power supply corresponds with the voltage
specified on the motor I.D. nameplate. A power source with greater
voltage than needed can result in serious injury to the user as well
as damage to the machine. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician
before connecting to the power source.
2.
THIS TOOL IS FOR
indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in wet
or damp locations.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock. The motor of this machine is wired for 120 V
single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle B. Do not remove
the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket
or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C, it must be attached to the
metal screw of the receptacle.
NOTE:
The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas, including
Canada. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a
qualified electrician before proceeding.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a
matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor
I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct
size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate
amp rating.
