WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHILE SAWING

Select the correct saw blade appropriate to the material being cut. (mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum)The material surface should be clean and level, free from rust, dirt, scale, and other debris.Material may become heat treated if flame cut. Always avoid cutting near these areas whenever possible.Adjust the base plate to the desired bevel angle by loosening and then re-tightening the Bevel Lever Lock(item# 93) at front of saw and the Rear Bevel Lock at rear of saw.When making long, straight cuts in sheet stock, insert the edge guide to the desired width and secure withthumb screws (item# 73), or use the electronic Laser Guide.Adjust to the proper depth of cut by loosening and re-tightening the rear Lever Lock (item# 93) at rear of saw.ln most cases, depth should be set at maximum unless there are obstructions below the work surface, Depthcan be set by observing index marks printed on housing along depth bracket.Connect machine to power source.Firmly grasp guide handle and trigger handle switch (item# 82 and 83).Position saw base plate on work surface near the cutting area.While observing Cautions and Warnings above, turn on the Laser On/Off switch. lf Laser does notturn on, check batteries. (Note: Laser is not required for saw operation.)When ready, start saw motor by activating trigger switch (item# 83).Slowly approach material edge and gently apply pressure until saw blade has established a cutting groove in thematerial.Apply smooth, constant pressure without over-loading saw motor.

A wARNrNc!IF SAW MOTOR SHOULD STALL OR STOP BEFORE A COMPLETE CUT IS MADE ALWAYS REMOVE BLADE FROM

MATERIAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART MOTOR. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

AFTER COMPLETING THE CUT

1. After the cut, release trigger switch to the "OFF" position.

2. When saw motor completely stops, place saw on secure and level surface.

3. Turn Laser On/Off switch to Off position.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES (continued)

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the oper-ator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf (saw cut) closingdown, the blade stalls and the motorreaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. lf the blade becomestwisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can diginto the top surface of the material causing the blade to climb out of the kerf andjump back toward operator. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrectoperating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precau-tions as given below:

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your body and armto allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled bythe operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release thetrigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a

complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the sawbackward while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. lnvestigate andtake corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf andcheck that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. lf saw blade is binding,it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

Support largeLargepanels tend topanel on both

panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK.

Do not use dull orke rfcausing excessive

sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under thesides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

damaged blade. Dull or improperly set blades produce narrow

friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure beforemaking a cut. lf blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding andKICKBACK.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES (continued)

- DANGER! - Keep hands and body away from and to the side of the blade. Contact with blade will result in

serious injury.

- WARNING! - To reduce the risk of injury, check lower guard. lt must close instantly! Hold saw with both

hands. Support and clamp work. Wear eye protection.

Additional Soecific Safetv Rules:

DANGERI Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor

housing. lf both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

.Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could

cause the saw to jump backwards. (See "Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback.")

.Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the blade below the work.

.Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely

and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. lf saw is accidentally dropped,

lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or

any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

.Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. lf the guard and the spring are not operating

properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged pads, gummy

deposits, or a buildup of debris.

.Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An

unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of

the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

.NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. lt is important to support the work properly to

minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and

shock the operator.

.When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance for blade binding.

.Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the

mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

.Never use damaged or incorrect blade washer or bolts. The blade washer and bolt were specially designed

for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation'

GENERAL SAFETY RULES (continued)

Personal Safetv.Sloy olert, watch whot you ore doing ond use common sense when operoting o power tool. Do nol use tool

while tired or under the influence of drugs, olcohol, or nedicotion, A moment of inattention while operatingpower tools may result in serious personal injury.

, Dress properly Do not weor loose clothing or iewelry. Conloin long hoir. Keep your hoir, clothing, ond gloves

owoy fron moving porfs. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

.Avoid occidentol storting. Be sure swilch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

.Remove odiusting keys or swilches before lurning lhe toolon. Awrench or a key that is left attached to arotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

.Do not overreoch. Keep proper fooling ond bolonce otoll times. Properfooting and balance enables bettercontrol of the tool in unexpected situations.

,Use sofely equipmenl. Alwoys weor eye proleclion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearingprotection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Gare,lJse clomps or olher proclicol woy to secure and support the workpiece lo a slable plotforn. Holding the

work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

.Do noÍ force tool. lJse the correcl lool for your applicoüon. The correct tool will do the job better and safer atthe rate for which it is designed.

. Do not use tool if switch does nol lurn if on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch isdangerous and must be repaired.

.Disconnecl the plug from lhe power source before making any adiuslmenls, changing accessories, orstoring the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
