WARNINGS
1. Read and understand the instruction manual and all safety warnings before operating this saw. Failure to follow
instructions or heed warnings may result in electric shock, fi re, serious personal injury or property damage.
Save these instructions and refer to them whenever necessary.
2. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, some types of dust created by sawing, power sanding,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities also contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are lead from lead-based paints, crystalline
silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber. In addition, wood dust has been listed as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government. The
risk from exposure to these chemicals and to dust varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment including dust
masks or respirators designed to fi lter out such dust and chemicals.
3. THIS SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED WIRING SYSTEM or to a system having an equipment-
grounding conductor. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This saw 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 fi t the
outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock and/or malfunction. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that 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.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or
if in doubt as to whether the saw is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
4. USE 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 saw will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For a cord length of up to 50 feet, use a
cord of 14 gauge. For a cord length of 50 to 100 feet, use a cord of 12 gauge. A cord length over 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
5. This saw is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A. The saw has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A.
Make sure the saw is connected to an outlet having the same
confi guration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be
used with this saw. If the saw must be reconnected for use on
a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualifi ed service personnel; and after reconnection,
the saw should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from the saw. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. Make
the workshop kid-proof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. Do not use the saw in dangerous environments. For example, do not use the saw in damp or wet locations or
expose it to rain, and keep the work area well lighted.
