dropping, bumping, etc. Store and unpack carton with correct
side up. Unpack all parts from the container. Check for damage
as each piece is removed. Especially check the tubing located
at the bottom of the motor for kinks, cuts, or other damage that
would be detrimental to coolant flow.

SAFETY RULES
Completely read and understand this
owner’s manual before assembly or tool
operation. Read and understand the warnings shown on the
machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of
these warnings may cause serious injury or death.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created by
using power tools contain 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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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. Always wear an OSHA/NIOSH approved,
properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.
Always follow proper operating
procedures as defined in this manual
even if you are familiar with the use of this or similar tools.
Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a
second can result in severe personal injury.
PREPARING FOR YOUR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught up in
moving parts of machine. Do NOT wear gloves.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Use guards and eye shields.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Wear ANSI approved ear protection for extended operation.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
• Focus your attention completely on your work. Looking
around, careless actions and other distractions can result in
serious injury.
Preparing the work area for your job
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose
power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to
prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
Maintaining your tool
• Failure to follow the guidelines in this manual can result in
serious injury.
• Disconnect the tool completely from its power supply before
performing any servise, maintenance, repair or adjustments.
• Follow OSHA lock-out, tag-out procedures to prevent
accidental machine starts.
• Consult this manual for the proper use, specific maintenance,
and adjustment procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Read and understand warnings posted on the machine and
in this manual. Replace the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed. Failure to comply with all of these
warnings can result in serious injury.
• Before using the machine, check for damaged parts. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting
issues and any other conditions that may affect operation.

Know how to use your tool
The operation of any tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear
safety goggles complying with United States ANSI Z87.1.
before commencing power tool operation.
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool
is being used.
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing the blade.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool power
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible
injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply
into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.) Do
not remove jammed or cut off pieces until the saw is turned
off, unplugged and the blade has stopped.
• Adjust upper guide to just clear workpiece.
• Hold workpiece firmly against vise.
• DIRECTION OF FEED: Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
