Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints,
•
Crystalline silica from brick, cement and other
masonry product, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

MAINTENANCE:
If the saw is dropped, the blade guard may be bent,
restricting the full return of the blade guard. With the cord
unplugged, check operation of the blade guard before
each use. Dust build-up can also restrict the full return
of the blade guard. Clear off all dust periodically.
retighten the screw firmly before use. Make sure spindle
lock is pulled out before turning saw on.
DIAMOND BLADE
A diamond blade is available
as an accessory. It's used to
saw out tile under toe spac-
es or on counters. Also, for
tile repair, it can be used to
remove field tiles.
Caution:
Do not overheat this blade! Cut 6ft. maximum
and allow cooling. Avoid cutting into wood subfloors as
this gums up the diamond grit. For best results, lay down
underlayment or plywood at least the width of the saw
so that the diamond blade cuts only to a depth corre-
sponding to the thickness of tile. Make sure no chicken
wire or expanded metal has been installed under tiles
to be cut.

To avoid accidental starting,
DISCONNECT THE SAW
FROM POWER SOURCE
before inserting the cutting
head into the toe-space.
The safest way is by an-
gling it in (Figure 1).
Plug-in the saw. Grasp the
handles firmly and pull the
trigger. Moving the saw
slowly forward retracts the
guards and exposes the
blade. Press down on the
handles slowly to plunge
the blade into the cut.
Slowly push the saw for-
ward and along the toe-kick (Figure 2). Do not force the
saw; let the blade cut at the highest RPM possible.
As you complete the cut, release the trigger and make
sure the motor comes to a full stop before removing the
saw from the toe-space. Unplug the saw before remov-
ing from the toe-space.
