Safety instructions
WARNING!
Please read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas will invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distraction can cause you to
loose control.
Inner Pendulum Guard
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts."
Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An
unprotected coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Electrical Safety
1 .Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
4. When operating a power tool outdoors use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
