Always allow the saw to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES - cont’d
Never use the side of the blade for cutting. When making horizontal cuts, make sure

the weight of the tool is not forcing the side of the blade to do the cutting. This will

reduce the risk of kickback.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the area of the workpiece to be cut.
Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete, stone, etc. The protrud- ing

blade may cause tool to jump.

DANGER: To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the plug from

the power source before making any adjustments and before installing or removing

a saw blade.
When replacing the blade, make sure the replacement blade is 3%" in diameter and

is rated for at least 3,500 RPM. Installing an incorrect blade will result in possible

injury and poor cutting action.
After changing a blade or making adjustments, make sure the blade clamp screw is

securely tightened. Loose blades and adjustment devices will be violently thrown.
Never touch the blade during or immediately after use. After use the blade is too hot

to be safely touched with bare hands.
EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so it

will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you are

working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current the

tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.
The table at right shows the correct size to use according to cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the

gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace

a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using

it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet

areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less

than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15 AMP time delayed fuse

or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure
