heavy-duty tool. Don't use toolfor purpose not intended; for example, don't
use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear looseclothing or jewelry. They can becaught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering tocontainlonghair.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if cuttingoperation is
dusty.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry toolby cordor yank
it todisconnect from

REMOVEADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keysand adjusting wrenches are removedfrom toolbeforeturning

AVOID UNINTENTIONALSTARTING.Don’t carry tool
with finger onswitch.
Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.
EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cold, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size touse depending oncord lengthand nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

tool when you are tired.
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 performitsintended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, bindingof movingparts, 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 replacedby an authorized serv-
ice center unless otherwiseindicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t use
tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICSHOCK. Prevent body contact withgrounded
21. REPLACEMENTPARTS.When servicing, use only identicalreplacement parts.
22. POLARIZED PLUGS.To reducetherisk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet,
reversethe plug. If
it stilldoes not fit, contacta qualifiedelectrician toinstall
the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connectingthe tool toa powersource (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result
in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as wellas damage to
the tool.
If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
