OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CUT-OFF SAW
Do not use the Cut-off saw if the power cord (or exten-
sion cord, if used) is worn, cut, or damaged in any other way. A worn or dam-
aged power cord must be replaced immediately. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service to obtain the proper replacement power cord. Failure to adhere to
this warning could result in damage to the Cut-off saw motor, fire, or severe
electrical shock or even death to the operator.
USING THE CUT-OFF SAW
Disconnect the abrasive Cut-off saw from the AC power
source eliminating any accidental starting of the motor.
Before using the saw, ensure the wheel has cooled down from any previous
actions. Wear approved leather work gloves when handling the various
workpieces and to protect the hands from a hot Cut-off wheel.
