i. GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS
1. Know your power tool - read owner’s/operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards unique to this tool.
2. Keep guards in place - and in working order.
3. Ground all tools - if tools are equipped with three prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached
to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
4. Remove wrenches - orm a habit of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it “on”.
5. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. Do not use in dangerous environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
7. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
8. Make workshop childproof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
9. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. Use right tool. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. Always use safety glasses. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at all times. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. ollow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have

STEPS TO USE THE 45˚ / 90˚ RIP
GUIDE
1. Set the rip guide by positioning it on the
desired dimension and tighten the threaded
knob. Make sure that the rip guide is firmly
tightened to avoid slippage. The rip guide can
be used 90˚ rip cugts and 45˚ angle cuts from
both the left and right side. (Note: The
straight and 45˚ angled slits on the bottom of
the rip guide.)
2. After the rip guide is positioned for the
desired cut, place material flat against the rip
guide and the measurement rail. or the 45˚
rip cuts, place the corner of material in the
open slot of the measurement rail.
3. Simply line up the material being cut with the
appropriate pre-marked lines on the cutting
table.
4. Now you are ready to make your cut.
CUTTING DEPTH
The recommended cutting depth is 1/4" below the
cutting table surface. When setting the cutting depth,
do a practice pass with the table to make sure the
blade does not cut into it.
THE SPRING LOCK PIN
The VX141MS Masonry Saw is designed with three
different cutting heights for jam cutting, a moving
head for chop (or plunge cutting), and a moving cart
combined with the moving head for step cutting to
help make any cutting task easier.
1. Before adjusting the cutting depth always
disconnect the electrical power supply.
2. To adjust the saw’s fixed cutting position, pull
up on the Angle Lock Pin, Figure 4, move the
head to the new position, release the Angle
Lock Pin, and rotate the cutting head
up/down until the Angle Lock Pin lokcs into
position (lowest position for cutting thru
bricks). The middle position is for cutting
block and the upper position for blade
replacement.
CHOP / PLUNGE SAW
OPERATION
