WARNINGS.
Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool
can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Your tool is double
insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool. Always
remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing
the blade.
When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust
mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.
