B DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS, Make sure blade is
tight and not making contact with saw or workpiece
before connecting to power supply•

sawing operations are those inwhich the blade cuts
completely Ihrough the workpiece as in ripping or
cross cutting. Keep lhe blade guard down, the antikickbaak pawls down, and the riving knifeispreeded

ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against rip fence,
miter fence, or miter gauge.
ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NARROW STOCK. A push stick is a dev=ce used to push
a werkpiece through the blade instead of using your
hands Size and shape can vary but the push stick must
always De narrower than tbe wofi_piece to prevent the
push stick from contacting the saw blade. When ripping

WARNIN6: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, gr nd rig, dri ing, and other conslruct[on activities
contains ctlemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•

lead from lead-based paints.

crystalline shies from blicks and cement and ether masonry Products, and

•

arsenic and chromium from chemically4reated

Your risk from these exoesures varies, depending on how often you do this type of weds. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust

EXTENSION

CORDS

ELECTRICAL

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

CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision buitl electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that Is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only [normal household current}. Do I
not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor w!ll
overheat. ]f the saw does not operate when plugged intq
an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
