c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
6. Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
STANLEY Service Center or an equally qualified
person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the
power cord is replaced by an equally qualified
person, but not authorized by STANLEY the
warranty will not be valid.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
f Cut only with sharp blades. Dull blades cut poorly and
overload the motor.
f If the saw does not cut accurately, refer to the
TROUBLE SHOOTING chart in this manual..
¡Warning! When using electric tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce risk
of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with
two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical
system. Tools built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped
with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension
cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation
system is for added protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
¡Warning! When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged
cords.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper utlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
¡Warning! Failure to heed these warnings may result in
personal injury and serious damage to the saw.
