WARNING:
Glasses or goggles not in compliance with CSA Z94.3 or ANSI Z87.1
could cause serious injury when they break.
WARNING:
Always wear hearing protection and a dust mask. Use the tool
only in a well-ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in a safe
environment reduces the risk of injury.
DANGER:
Always unplug the tool from the power source before changing the
cutting disc or when cleaning the tool.
DANGER:
Never place your hands or fingers near the cutting disc while the tool
is running. Severe injury will result.
DANGER:
Never install a saw blade on this tool. It is designed ONLy for use with
abrasive cut-off discs.
WARNING:
Use only cut-off discs that are recommended for this chop saw and
are rated for speeds of at least 3500 RPM. Follow the instructions that accompany the
cut off discs. The use of improper cut-off discs may result in injury to the operator or
damage to the chop saw.
WARNING:
If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the tool into the
power source until the missing or damaged part is replaced.
Before using any cut-off disc, carefully read the instructions or the owner's manual for the
cut-off disc.
Use this chop saw for cutting steel only. Cutting ceramic materials will create excessive dust
and cause damage to the motor.
Always use a dust mask and safety goggles when operating the chop saw.

Do not cut material too small to be securely held in the vise.
Always keep your hands out of the path of the cut-off disc. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the cut-off disc.
Secure the workpiece. Use the clamping system provided with the chop saw. It is safer than
using your hand.
Make sure there are no foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
The cut-off disc must be securely attached as described in this manual before connecting the
tool to the power source. Failure to do so will increase the risk of serious injury if the cut-off
disc shatters or comes loose.
Make sure the guard is installed and in proper working order before operating the chop saw.
Cut-off discs must be stored in a dry location to prevent deterioration.
Before attaching the cut-off disc, inspect it for visible defects. If cracked, chipped or warped,
do not install it.
Do not over tighten the clamp nut on the cut-off disc. Excessive tightening may cause the disc
to crack, and possibly shatter, during operation.
Never turn the chop saw on with the cut-off disc touching the work surface.
Use only cut-off discs in compliance with ANSI Standard B7.1 and rated for a speed greater
than 3500 RPM.
Do not use the chop saw if the disc flanges or cap screw are missing or improperly installed.
Dust and abrasive materials should not be allowed to build up in the workshop. Hot metal
sparks could start a fire.
Do not remove the soft paper in the centre of the cut-off disc.
Do not alter or enlarge the centre hole of the cut-off disc, as this could result in the
disc shattering.
