An adapter Fig. “B” and “C” is available for connecting Fig. “A” type plugs to two-prong
receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB071-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to cutter safety rules. If
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting
area and wheel. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot
be cut by the wheel.
2. Keep your body positioned to either side
of the wheel, but not in line with the wheel.
KICKBACK could cause the tool to jump
backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Pre-
vention of Kickback”)
3. Do not reach underneath the work. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when wheel is
moving.
CAUTION: Wheels coast after turn off.
4. Always observe that the wheel has
stopped spinning before placing tool
down on bench or floor. A coasting wheel
will cause the tool to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it
takes for the wheel to stop after switch is
released.
5. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure,
wheel binding, or loss of control.
6. 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.
