Tool Use and care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable. It
allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and
loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the
tool for purpose not intended - for example; do not use
the flooring saw for slicing meats.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "oN" or
"off". Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely
to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades
be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the
direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the
teeth are also pointing in the same direction.
• inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in
place. check moving parts for binding or any other
condition that may affect the normal operation or
safety features of the tool. if damaged, have tool
serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in serious
personal injury.
• The use of any other accessories not specified in this
manual may create a hazard. Accessories that may be
suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous
when used on an inappropriate tool.
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in misplacing internal
wires and components which could cause serious
hazard.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. follow instructions in the maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a hazard.

Safety Rules for
flooring Saws
• Always disconnect the power cord from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching
any accessories. You may unintentionally start the saw,
leading to serious personal injury.
• flooring saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike
products only. Do not use this saw to cut metals,
even with a special blade designed to cut these
materials. Do not use this saw to cut any masonry
material, even with abrasive cut-off wheels. Cutting
metals or masonry materials could cause personal injury
and tool damage.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece. Small debris
or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
revolving blade can be thrown with high speed at the
operator.
• cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces
cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind
on the blade or shift during cutting.
• Be certain the flooring saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before using. A level and firm
work surface reduces the risk of the flooring saw
becoming unstable.
• This tool is not equipped with provisions for
attaching an auxiliary fence. Insure that the work piece
is supported by the fence before cutting.
• plan your work. provide adequate support
accessories such as tables, saw horses, tabl e
extension, etc. for workpieces wider or longer than
the table top. Workpieces longer than the flooring saw
table can tip if not securely supported. If the cutoff piece
or workpiece tips it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
• The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or
pressured by any other means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
• let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will help avoid thrown workpieces.
