Your risk from these exposures varies depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Handling the power cord on this product may expose
you to chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL: To reduce the risk of
injury, user and all bystanders must read instruction
manual before using this product.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
•
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or
disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools will stand upright but may
be easily knocked over.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
Power supply and motor specifications
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards,
or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your saw
is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to
a 120 V, minimum 10 Amp circuit and use a 10 Amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or
fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
Grounding instructions
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electrical shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and
reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green
insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged
grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must
not be less than #16 wire and should be protected with a
minimum 10 Amp circuit time lag fuse. Before connecting
the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage
will damage the motor.
Guidelines for extension cords
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Use an extension 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,
overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
