GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
 KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the saw's applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
 GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING
BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For
example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
 KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
 REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of tile on the
saw while it is in operation.
 DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain.
Keep the work area well lit.
 KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work
area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord while
operating.
 MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
 DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the feed rate for which it was designed.
 USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or attachment to
do a job it was not designed for. Don't use it for a purpose
not intended.
 USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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 14 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.
 DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, or jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear (rubber
soled boots) are recommended when working outdoors.
Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
 ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WITH SIDE SHIELDS
WHICH IS MARKED TO COMPLY WITH ANSI Z87.1 WHEN
USING THIS PRODUCT.
 SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
 DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
 MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
 DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing,
or when changing attachments, wheels, bits, cutters, etc.,
all tools should be disconnected.
 AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when
plugging in any tool.
 USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
operator's manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may risk injury.
 NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
 CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of
personal injury.
 USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
wheel or cutter against the direction of rotation of wheel or
cutter only.
 NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
 PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty.
 PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
 DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
 ALWAYS USE AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORD MARKED
"W-A" OR "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
 ALWAYS KEEP THE WHEEL GUARD IN PLACE and in
working order.
 KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands
away from wheels. Do not reach underneath work or around
or over the wheel while wheel is rotating. Do not attempt to
remove cut material when wheel is moving.
 WHEEL COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.
 NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
 INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged, have
repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized
service facility. 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. Repair or
replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating
wheel.
