SET UP FOR USE
• Place the Saw on a clean, dust and grit free surface. The rubber feet of the Saw Base are
designed to assist with stability during normal operation, however it is strongly recommended
that the machine be placed on a solid floor, away from any combustible materials due to the
high-velocity ejection of sparks and high vibration levels while cutting. If machine is to be
operated on a bench, it should be placed securely to prevent any chance of it working its
way to the edge and falling.
• Keep power cord away from and out from under the Metal Cutting Saw blade. The unit is
equipped with a 6’ [1.8 m] long, grounded, 14 ga. power cord. Plug into a properly grounded,
20 Amp outlet. If an extension cord is required, use 14 ga. or heavier. Do not exceed 25’.
•
DO NOT OVERLOAD.
Saw is designed to accommodate Maximum material cutting range @
90° setting with
Stop Fence adjusted to maximum width
= 9.13” wide x 4.5” high.
Maximum cutting range @ 45° setting with
Stop Fence adjusted to maximum width
= 6.25”
wide x 3.13” high. Attempts to cut over-sized material can result in serious personal injury,
death and or serious damage to the saw.
• Be sure to support any materials being cut that extend beyond the base of the saw with equal
height (3”) blocks of wood or other suitable material.
• Secure loose work pieces by using the Material Clamp to prevent movement while cutting:
– To use the Quick Release, rock the
Quick Release tab forward to
engage the threads

.
Then tighten the Clamp Handle by
rotating in a clockwise direction.
When releasing, loosen the Clamp
Handle a few turns to relieve
clamping pressure, rotate the
Quick Release tab rearward to
disengage threads, and pull
the Clamp Handle rearward
to open
