stalls
rapidly
and

the
operator.
It can
pull

SETUPS.
Make
sure
blade
is
tight
and not
making
contact
with saw or
workpiece
before
connecting
to
power
supply.
Through-sawing
operations are
those in
which the
blade
cuts
completely through
the
workpiece as
in
ripping
or
cross
cutting.
Keep
the
blade
guard down, the
anti-kick
back
pawls
down,
and
the

in
place
over
the
blade.
S
ALWAYS
SECURE
WORK
firmly
against
the
rip
fence
or
miter
gauge.
NEVER
use the
rip
fence
during
the same
operation as
the
miter gauge.
S
ALWAYS
USE
A
PUSH STICK
FOR
RIPPING
NAR
ROW STOCK.
A
push stick is a
device
used
to push
a
workpiece
through
the
blade instead
of
using your
hands.
Size
and
shape
can
vary
but
the
push
stick
must
always
be
narrower
than the
workpiece to
prevent
the
push
stick
from
contacting the
saw blade.
When
ripping
narrow
stock, always
use
a
push
stick, so
your hand
does
not
come close to
the
saw
blade.
Use a
featherboard
and
push blocks for
non-through cuts.

RU L
ES
S
NEVER
perform
any
operation
“freehand”
which
means
using only

the
workpiece.
Always
use
either
the
rip
fence
or
miter
fence
to
position
and guide
the

GENERAL
SAFETY
RULES
KEEP
HANDS
AWAY
FROM
CUTTING
AREA.
Keep
hands
away
from
blades.
Do
not reach
underneath
work
or
around
or
over
the
blade
while blade is
rotating.
Do
not
attempt
to
remove
cut
material
when blade is
moving.
BLADE
COASTS
AFTER
BEING
TURNED OFF.
NEVER
USE
IN
AN
EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE.
Normal
sparking
of
the
motor
could
ignite fumes.
S
INSPECT
TOOL
CORDS
PERIODICALLY. If
dam
aged,
have repaired
by
a
qualified
service
technician at
an
authorized
service
facility.
The
conductorwith
insulation
having
an
outer
surfacethat
is
green with
or
without
yellow
stripes
is
the
equipment-grounding
conductor. If
repair
or
replacement
of
the
electric cord
or
plug is
necessary,
do
not
connect
the
equipment-grounding
conductor
to
a
live
terminal.
Repair or
replace
a
damaged
or worn
cord
immediately.
Stay
constantly aware
of
cord location
and
keep
it
well
away
from the
rotating
blade.

INSPECT
EXTENSION
CORDS
PERIODICALLY and
replace
if
damaged.
S
GROUND
ALL
TOOLS.
If

is
equipped
with
three-
prong
plug,
it
should
be plugged
into
a
three-hole elec

receptacle.
S
CHECK
WITH A
QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN
or
service
personnel
if
the
grounding
instructions are
not
completely
understood
or
if
in
doubt as
to
whether the
tool
is

ONLY
CORRECT
ELECTRICAL
DEVICES:
3-wire

cords
that
have 3-prong
grounding
plugs and

receptacles
that
accept the
tool’s plug.
S
DO
NOT

AGAINST
KICKBACK.
Kickback
occurs
when

blade
stalls
rapidly
and
workpiece
is
driven
back
towards
the
operator.
It can
pull
your hand into
the
blade
resulting
in
serious
personal
injury. Stay
out
of

immediately
if

S
USE RIP
FENCE.
Always
use
a
fence
or
straight
edge
guide
when ripping.
S
SUPPORT
LARGE
PANELS.
To
minimize
risk of
blade
pinching
and
kickback, always support
large
panels.
S
REMOVE ALL
FENCES

operate
tool
when
you
are

Do
not rush.
I
DO
NOT USE

Make
sure
blade
is
tight
and not
making
contact
with saw or
workpiece
before
connecting
to
power
supply.
Through-sawing
operations are
those in
which the
blade
cuts
completely through
the
workpiece as
in
ripping
or
cross
cutting.
Keep
the
blade
guard down, the
anti-kick
back

down,
and
the
spreader
in
place
over
the
blade.
S
ALWAYS
SECURE
WORK
firmly
against
the
rip
fence
or
miter
gauge.
NEVER
use the
rip
fence
during
the same
operation as
the
miter gauge.
S
ALWAYS
USE
A
PUSH STICK
FOR
RIPPING
NAR
ROW STOCK.
A
push stick is a
device
used
to push
a
workpiece
through
the
blade instead
of
using your
hands.
Size
and
shape
can
vary
but
the
push
stick
must
always
be
narrower
than the
workpiece to
prevent
the
push
stick
from
contacting the
saw blade.
When
ripping
narrow
stock, always
use
a
push
stick, so
your hand
does
not
come close to
the
saw
blade.
Use a
featherboard
and
push blocks for
non-through cuts.

EXTENSION
CORDS
Use
only 3-wire
extension
cords that
have
3-prong ground
ing plugs and
3-pole
receptacles
that accept
the
tools
plug.
When
using
a
power
tool at
a
considerable
distance
from the
power
source,
use
an
extension
cord
heavy
enough
to
carry
the
current
that the
tool will
draw.
An undersized extension
cord
will
cause
a
drop
in
line
voltage,
resulting
in
a
loss of
power
and
causing
the
motor
to
overheat.
Use
the chart
provided
below
to
determine
the
minimum
wire
size required
in
an
extension
cord.
Only
round
jacketed cords
listed
by
Underwriters
Laboratories
(UL) should
be
used.

NOTE:
AWG
= American

Gauge
When
working
with
the tool
outdoors,
use an
extension
cord
that is
designed
for
outside
use.
This
is
indicated
by
the
letters
“W-A”
or
“W”
on
the
cord’s
jacket.
Before using
an
extension
cord,
inspect
it
for loose
or
exposed
wires
and cut
or worn
insulation.
WARNING:
Keep
the
extension
cord
clear
of
the
working
area.
Position
the
cord
so
that
it
will
not get
caught
on
umber,
tools
or
other
obstructions
while
you
are
working
with a
power
tool.
Failure
to
do
so
can
result
in
serious
personal
injury.
A
WARNING:
Check
extension
cords
before
each
use.
If
dam
aged
replace
immediately.
Never
use
product
with
a
damaged
cord since
touching
the damaged
area
could
cause
electrical
shock
resulting
in
serious
injury.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This
product
is
powered by
aprecision
built
electric
motor.
It
should
be
connected
to
a
power
supply
that
is
120
V,
AC
only
(normal
household
current),
60
Hz. Do
not
operate
this
product
on
direct
current
(DC).
A
substantial
voltage
drop
will
cause
a
loss of
power and
the motor
will
overheat.
If
the
saw
does
not operate
when
plugged
into
an
outlet,
double
check
the
power
supply.
SPEED
AND
WIRING
The no-load
speed
of
this
tool is
approximately 3,450
rpm.
This
speed
is
not constant
and
decreases
under
a
load
or
with
lower
voltage.
For
voltage,
the
wiring
in
a
shop
is
as
important
as
the
motor’s
horsepower
rating.
A
line
intended
only
for
lights
cannot
properly
carry
a
power
tool
motor.
Wire
that
is
heavy
enough
for
a
short
distance
will
be too
light for
a
greater distance.
A
line
that
can
support
one
power
tool
may not
be
able
to
support
two
or
three
tools.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This
product
must be
grounded.
In
the event
of
a
malfunction
or
breakdown,
grounding
provides
a
path of
least
resistance
for
electric
current
to
reducethe
risk of
electric
shock.
This tool
is
equipped
with an
electric
cord
having
an
equipment-grounding
conductor
and
a
grounding
plug.
The
plug
must
be
plugged
into a
matching outlet
that
is
properly
installed
and
grounded
in
accordance
with
all
local
codes
and
ordinances.
Do
not
modify
the
plug provided.
If
it
will
not
fit
the
utIet,
have
the proper
outlet
installed
by
aqualified
electrician.
A
WARNING:
Improper
installation
of
the
grounding
plug is
able to
result
in
a
risk of
electric
shock.
When
repair
or
replacement
of
the
cord
is
required,
do
not
connect
the grounding
wire
to
either
flat
blade
terminal.
The wire with
insulation
having
an
outer
surface that
is
green
with or
without
yellow
stripes
is
the
grounding
wire.
Check
with a
qualified
electrician
or
service
personnel
if
the
grounding
instructions
are
not completely
understood,
or
if
in
doubt as
to
whether
the tool
is
properly
grounded.
Repair
or
replace
adamaged
or worn
cord immediately.

product
is
for
use on
