KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For example,
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of tile on the
saw while it is in operation.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to
rain. Keep the work area well lit.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while operating.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not
intended.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord
25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewellery
. They can get caught and draw you
into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear (rubber soled boots) are recommended when working
outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, wheels, bits, cutters,
etc., all tools should be disconnected.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may risk injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
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 must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a wheel or cutter against the direction of rotation of wheel or
cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
