Important Safety Instructions
_WARNING: Read all instructions before operating
product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one single layerof reinforced insulation
between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your
tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use
extension cords without concern for maintaining aground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The secondary insulation
system is for protection against injury resulting from a possible failure
of the primary insulation within the tool.
_CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on
equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this
plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to installthe proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORKAREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
•DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
•DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do ajob for
which it was not designed.
•USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord must
have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resultinginlossofpowerandoverheating.Whenusingmorethan
oneextension to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Ampere Rating

• APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
•ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1
requirements. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are not safety glasses.
•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool
•DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
•DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
•REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction
manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
•CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function -- check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
•NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Additional Safety Rules for Chop Saw
•Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
•Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or flaws.
If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the wheel. The
wheel should also be inspected whenever you think the tool
may have been dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.
•When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel
or if you are unsure of the condition of the wheel, hold the
tool in a well protected area and let H run for one minute. If
the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, ff should burst
in less than one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line
with the wheel This includes the operator.
•In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for
cracks or flaws.
• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure in this
manual.
• Do not remove wheel guards or base.

• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP
WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring, bar, or C-clamps
may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of workpiece. Use
care in selecting and placing these clamps and make a dry run
before making a cut.
• Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm orhigher.
• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.
• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool
•NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.
• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base.
•DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
•DO NOT USE CIRCULAR SAW BLADES OR ANY OTHER
TOOTHED BLADES WITH THIS TOOL. Serious injury may
result.
•DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or
arcing motor brushes may ignite combustible materials.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder.
This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an unsafe
condition. The wheel may come apart.
_CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
ACAUTION: Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid touching or
adjusting while hot. Keep cordset and materials away from spark
deflector.
AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
_,WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Double isolation
Afin de proteger I'utilisateur contre les decharges electriques, les outils
a,double isolation sont completement recouverts de deux couches
distinctes d'isolant electrique ou d'une simple epaisseur renforcee
de matiere isolante. Les outils comportant ce systeme d'isolation ne
sont pas congus pour @tremis a,la terre. L'outil est donc dote d'une
prise a,deux broches qui permet d'utiliser des rallonges sans avoir a,
se soucier de maintenir une connexion a, la terre.
REMARQUE : le fait que cet outil soit muni d'une double isolation ne
signifie pas que I'utilisateur peut cesser de respecter les consignes
de s6curite qui s'imposent. L'isolation secondaire offre une protection
contre tout dommage corporel pouvant resulter d'une defaillance
electrique possible du systeme primaire d'isolation interne.
AATTENTION :EN CAS DE REPARATION, UTILISER UNIQUEMENT
DES PIECES DE RECHANGE IDENTIQUES, Reparer ou remplacer les
cordons d'alimentation endommages,
Fiches polaris_es
Certains appareils comportent des fiches polarisees (c'est-a,-dire
qu'une lame est plus large que I'autre) afin de reduire le risque de
choc electrique. Lorsqu'elle est presente, cette fiche ne se branche
que d'une seule fagon dans une prise de courant polarisee. Si la fiche
ne s'insere pas totalement dans la prise de courant, I'inverser. Si elle
ne s'insere toujours pas dans la prise, demander a,un electricien
competent d'installer une fiche polarisee. Ne pas remplacer la fiche.
•GARDER LES DISPOSITIFS DE PROTECTION EN PLACE et
en bon etat de fonctionnement.
• RETIRER LES CLE-S DE RE-GLAGE ; prendre /'habitude de
s'assurer que les cles de reglage sont retirees de I'outil avant de le
demarrer,
13

• GARDER L'AIREDE TRAVAIL PROPRE; les espaces de travail
et les etablis encombres sont propices aux blessures.
•NE PAS UTILISER L'OUTIL DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT
DANGEREUX ; ne pas exposer I'outil a la pluie, ni I'utiliser clans
des endroits humides ou detrempes. Garder I'aire de travail bien
eclairee.
•TENIR LES ENFANTS A L'E-CART; s'assurer que personne ne
s'approche de I'aire de travail.
•S'ASSURER QUE L'ATELIER EST SUR POUR LES ENFANTS;
utiliser des cadenas, des interrupteurs centraux ou enlever les
commandes de demarrage.
•NE PAS FORCER L'OUTIL ; pour obtenir de meilleurs resultats
etprevenir les risques de blessure, laisser I'outil couper a la vitesse
pour laquelle il a ete conqu.
•UTILISER L'OUTIL APPROPRIE- ; ne pas forcer I'outil ou
I'accessoire, ni I'utiliser pour des travaux autres que ceux pour
lesquels ila ete conqu.
•UTILISER LES RALLONGES APPROPRIEES ; pour la
s6curit6 de I'utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre
ad_quat (AWG, American Wire Gauge [calibrage am6ricain
normalis6 des ills 61ectriques]). Plus le calibre est petit, et
plus sa capacite est grande. Un calibre 16, par exemple, a une
capacite superieure a un calibre 18. L'usage d'une rallonge de
calibre insuffisant causera une chute de tension qui entra_nera
perte de puissance et surchauffe. Si plus d'une rallonge est utilisee
pour obtenir une certaine Iongueur, s'assurer que chaque rallonge
presente au moins le calibre de filminimum. Le tableau ci-dessous
illustre les calibres a utiliser selon la Iongueur de rallonge et
I'intensite nominale indiquee sur la plaque signaletique. En cas
de doute, utiliser le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la
rallonge peut supporter de courant.

articles de maqonnerie, et
• I'arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement
chimique (ACC).
Le risque associe a de telles expositions varie selon la frequence
laquelle on effectue ces travaux. Pour reduire toute exposition aces
produits : travailler dans un endroit bien aere, en utilisant le materiel de
securite approprie tel un masque antipoussieres specialement conqu
pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
•Eviter tout contact prolong_ avec la poussi_re soulev_e par
cet outil ou autres outils _lectriques. Porter des v_tements
de protection et nettoyer les parties expos_es du corps
I'eau savonneuse. S'assurer de bien se proteger afin d'eviter
d'absorber par la bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits
chimiques nocifs.
