Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example:
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
Inspect tool cords and extension cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired by a qualified
service technician. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it away from the rotating
wheel.
Never use in an explosive atmosphere. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
Use only outdoor extension cords with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move
into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance.
Allow the motor to come up to full speed before working.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
Replacement parts. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a qualified
service technician at an authorized service center.
WARNING: when servicing use only identical WEN

replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL OR ANY MEDICATION THAT MAY IMPAIR YOUR JUDGMENT OR
CONTROL!
Stay alert and exercise control. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate
tool when you are tired. DO NOT RUSH!
Make sure work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Don‟t abuse cord. Never carry tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
EXTENSION CORDS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path or least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. Tools equipped with an electrical cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor 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 in any way. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to
prevent overheating and motor burn-out; use the table below to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
