WARNING
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.
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.
"READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed
BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

Cut-Off Machines
• To reduce risk of injury, use type 41/1A abrasive
cutting wheel rated 3800/min (RPM) or greater.
• Do not reach in back of the cutting wheel behind the
fence with either hand to hold down or support the
workpiece, remove cut off scraps, or for any other
reason. The proximity of the spinning cutting wheel to your
hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching any
accessories. You may unintentionally start the cut-off
machine, leading to serious personal injury.
• Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If workpiece is
bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face
toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no
gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the
line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or
rock and may cause binding on the spinning wheel while
cutting. Also, make sure there are no foreign objects in the
workpiece.
• Do not use the cut-off machine until the table is clear of
all tools, material scraps, etc., except the work-piece.
Small debris or loose pieces of material or other objects that
contact the revolving wheel can be thrown with high speed
at the operator.
• Do not feed workpiece into the wheel or cut "freehand"
in any way. Workpiece must be stationary and clamped
by provided clamp. Saw must be fed through the
workpiece smoothly and at a rate which will not overload the
saw's motor.
• Be certain the saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm
work surface before using. A level and firm work surface
reduces the risk of the saw becoming unstable.
• Plan your work. Provide adequate support accessories
such as tables, saw horses, table extension, etc. for
workpieces wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the saw base 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 wheel.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support. Unstable support for
the workpiece can cause the wheel to bind or the workpiece
to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the
helper into the spinning wheel.
• Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
support round and/or irregularly shaped material such
as pipes, or tubing. Pipes and irregularly shaped
workpieces have tendency to twist, rock, or slip while being
cut, causing the wheel to "bite" and pull the work with your
hand into the wheel.
