• Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
• Always use undamaged blade flanges that
are of correct diameter for selected blade.
Proper blade flanges support the blade thus
reducing the possiblitity of blade breakage.
• The outside diameter and thickness of your
blade must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized blades
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• Do not use damaged blades. Before each
use, inspect the blades for chips and cracks.
If power tool or blade is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged blade.
After inspecting and installing the blade,
position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating blade and run the
power tool at maximum no load speed for
one minute. Damaged blades will normally
break apart during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
blade may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning blade.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning blade.
• Never lay the power tool down until the
blade has come to a complete stop. The
spinning blade may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
blade could snag your clothing, pulling the
blade into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Don't unplug if plug or receptacle is wet.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
• Wait for the saw to come to a complete
stop. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the
blade to stop after switch is released.
• Do not use to cut wood or metal.
• Never use toothed or segmented diamond
blades. This tool is not equipped with a lower
guard.
WARNING: Keep hands away from
cutting area and blade. Personal
injury may result.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electrocution, keep all connections dry
and off the ground. Do not touch plug
with wet hands.
WARNING: A Portable Residual Current
Device (PRCD) is provided on the cord
set. Receptacles are available having
built in PRCD protection and may be
used for an added measure of safety.
When using an extension cord, always
plug into a PRCD protected receptacle
or outlet.
WARNING: Always plug extension
cord into a PRCD protected outlet.
WARNING: Test PRCD before each
use:
1. Plug PRCD into power outlet.
Indicator should turn red.
2. Press test button. Red indicator
should disappear.
3. Press reset button for use. Do not
use if above test fails.
WARNING: Never use saw with salt
water or a conductive fluid.
Additional Safety Rules
•
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
