Grounding Instructions
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. 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 tool 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.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
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.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Manual Before Operating Saw
2. Wear eye protection.
3. Use saw-blade guard and spreader
for every operation for which it can be
used, including all through sawing.
4. Keep hands out of the line of saw blade.
5. Use an appropriate push-stick when required.
6. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.
7. Do not perform any operation freehand.
8. Never reach around or over saw blade.
9. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all
times while sawing. Use a roller stand (not
provided) with larger workpieces if necessary.
10. To properly understand all safety warnings, be familiar
with the following safety terms and equipment:
a. Featherboard – A block with “fingers” that hold
the workpiece against the fence while sawing.
b. Through-sawing – A cut made from one side of
a tile to the opposite side, without stopping.
c. Push-stick – A narrow strip of wood or other soft
material with a notch cut into one end and which
is used to push short pieces of material through
saws. It provides a safe distance between the
hands and the cutting tool. Must be narrower than
the cut width to prevent contact with the blade.
