CHOP SAW SAFETY
BEFORE USING THE CHOP SAW, IT IS CRITICAL THAT
YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE SAFETY RULES.
TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS OR PERMANENT INJURY, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE CHOP SAW UNTIL THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
1. Learn the function of the ON/OFF switch, cutting handle
and wheel guard.
2. Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this Operator’s manual.
3. Review the maintenance methods for this chop saw.
4. Find and read all the warning labels on the chop saw:
• Read manual before using the chop saw.
• Wear safety goggles.
• Never perform cutting operations with wheel guard
removed.
• Turn power OFF, wait for abrasive wheel to stop and
remove power cord from power source before adjusting
or servicing.
5. The arbor bolt and all clamps have to be tightened before
cutting.
6. Make sure the workpiece and the abrasive wheel are not
in contact prior to operating the saw.
WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING YOUR CHOP SAW:
1. AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT:
• Use the chop saw in a dry, indoor location protected
from rain and moisture.
• Keep work area well lit.
2. TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED CHOP SAW
MOVEMENT:
• Bolt or clamp the chop saw to a firm level surface where
there is plenty of room to move the workpiece through
the entire cut.
• Position the chop saw so the feet are level and the chop
saw does not rock.
• Position the chop saw where operators and bystanders
stand a safe distance away from the saw and are not in
direct line with the cutting wheel.
• To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when
plugging in or unplugging the chop saw.
• Turn OFF and unplug the chop saw before moving it to
a new area. To avoid back injury, get help when
transporting.
• Bolt the chop saw to the floor if it tends to move when
cutting long, heavy workpieces.
• DO NOT STAND ON the chop saw. Do not store
materials above or near it. Standing on the tool could
result in serious injury.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. INSPECT YOUR CHOP SAW:
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any
electrical part does not work properly, turn the chop
saw OFF and unplug the tool.
• Replace damaged or missing parts before using
the chop saw.
2. AVOID INJURY FROM JAMS, SLIPS OR THROWN
PIECES (KICKBACKS):
• Use this chop saw to cut ferrous material only.
• Avoid injury from thrown pieces. Make sure the
abrasive wheel is properly installed and the arbor
bolt is tight.
• Use the right tool. Do not force the tool to do a job it is
not intended to do.
3. INSPECT YOUR WORK AREA:
• Keep the work area clean.
• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. The floor
must not be slippery from wax, sawdust or shavings,
etc.
• Avoid burns or other fire damage. Do not use the chop
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
• Before using the chop saw, clear the table of all objects
not needed to feed the workpiece.
• Avoid injury. Do not perform layout, assembly or setup
on the chop saw.
• Never hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become very
hot while being cut.
4. PLAN YOUR WORK:
• Before trying a new or not often used operation,
carefully plan your hand placement. Make sure you
have proper fixtures, stops and other items ready to
use. Avoid injury form unsafe accessories. Use only
recommended accessories.
5. DRESS FOR SAFETY:
• Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.
• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using the chop saw.
• The chop saw can throw debris into your eyes which can
result in permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles
(not glasses) that comply with ANSI Standards.
Regular eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses.
• Wear a dust mask along with safety goggles during
each operation.
6. INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE:
• Make sure there are no bolts or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be cut.
7. PLAN YOUR CUT:
• Do not cut freehand. Guide your workpiece solidly
against the fence and table top. Make sure there is no
debris between the workpiece and its supports.
• Use extra caution with large, small or awkward workpieces.
• Use extra support (tables, sawhorses, blocks) if your
workpiece is hard to hold down to the table. Do not use
another person as additional support or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.
• Do not cut more than one workpiece at a time.
• Do not turn your chop saw ON before clearing
everything except the workpiece and related support
devices off the table.
