General Safety
Information (Cont’d.)
8. Use steady, even pressure when
using tool. Do not force. Too much
pressure can cause blade to break
or overheat.
9. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight
and ensure equipment is in safe
working condition.
10.Do not put hands near or under
moving parts.
WORK AREA
Do not operate a
power tool in an
explosive atmosphere, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the fumes or dust.
Keep work area
clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
Keep bystanders,
children, and
visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one plug blade is wider
that the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, turn the
plug over and insert into plug again.
Do not expose
power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact
with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not abuse cord.
• Never carry tool by its cord.
• Never pull the cord to disconnect
from receptacle.
1. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
2. Do not use an extension cord unless
absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric

shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure:
• That the pins on plug of extension
cord are the same number, size
and shape as those of plug.
• That the extension cord is
properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• If an extension cord is to be used
outdoors it must be marked
with the suffix “W-A” or “W”
following the cord type
designation to indicate it is
acceptable for outdoor use.
For example – SJTW-A
3. Do not expose to rain, snow or
frost.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not misuse this
product. Excessive
exposure to vibration, work in
awkward positions, and repetitive
work motions can cause injury to
hands and arms. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, numbness, tingling, or pain
occur, and consult aphysician.
1. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Avoid accidental
starting. Be sure
switch is in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch with the switch on invites
accidents.
2. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning on the tool. A key or
wrench attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal
injury.
3. Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and
balance at all times.
Proper footing and
balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
4. Always work in a well-
ventilated area. Wear an
OSHA-approved dust
mask and safety glasses.

CAUTION

WARNING
5. Hold tool by insulated gripping
surface when performing an
operation where the tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contacting a
“live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
6. Keep hands away from moving
parts.
7. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. Never hold work in your
hand, lap, or against other parts of
your body when cutting.
8. Always use blades of the correct
size and shape mounting holes.
Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will
increase risk of injury to the user
and damage to the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not use tool if
switch does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
1. This tool must NOT be modified or
used for any application other than
that for which it was designed.
Do not force the
tool. Use the
correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
2. Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
3. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
4. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories suitable
for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
5. Some wood contains preservatives
which can be toxic. Take extra care
to prevent inhalation and skin
contact when working with these
materials. Request and follow all
safety information available from
your material supplier.
