16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL 

STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position 
before plugging in.  

17. 

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. 

 

 

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended 
accessories. The use of improper accessories 
may cause risk of injury to persons. 

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury 

could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting 
tool is unintentionally contacted. 

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further 

use of the tool, a guard or other part that is 
damaged should be carefully checked to 
determine that it will operate properly and 
perform its intended function - check for 
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any 
other conditions that may affect its operation. 

A guard or other part that is damaged should 
be properly repaired or replaced.  

20.  DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade 

or cutter against the direction of rotation of the 
blade or cutter only. 

21. 

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING 
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t 
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  

22. 

DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED CUTOFF 
PIECES until the blade has stopped. 

23. MAINTAIN PROPER ADJUSTMENT of blade 

tension, blade guides and thrust bearings.  

24. ADJUST UPPER BLADE GUIDE TO JUST 

CLEARWORKPIECE. 

25. 

HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY AGAINST 
TABLE. 

 

General Electrical Cautions 

This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. 
This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from 
electrical shock. 

Caution:

 For circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be increased in 

order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheating and 
burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according to the following table is 
recommended.

Only the applicable parts of the Table need to be included. For instance, a 120-volt product need not include the 240-volt heading. 

 

Switch Padlock 

To safeguard your machine from unauthorized 
operation and to avoid accidental starting by young 
children, the use of a padlock (not provided) is 
highly recommended. 

To lock the main switch in the OFF position, 
remove the switch key from the switch. Place the 
key in a location that is inaccessible to children and 
others not qualified to use the tool. 

1.  Open the padlock (Fig. A). 

2.  Insert through holes in the start button (Fig. B). 

3. Close 

the 

padlock. 

4.  Place the key in a safe place and out of reach 

of children. 

 

For three phase tools without the lock-off feature, 
observe the following instruction: The installer shall 
follow local regulations and National Electrical 
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 installation requirements.
