Only composite abrasive or diamond abrasive Saw Blades rated at a mini-
mum of 4,700 RPM.
Never use carbide-tipped, woodcutting, or circular machine Saw Blades. They
can cause severe personal injury from reactive forces, blade contact, or thrown
objects.
Only cut asphalt, concrete, stone, brick, and plastics with this Cut Off Saw.
Inspect the Saw Blade frequently, and replace immediately if the Blade is
cracked, or warped. Cracked or warped Saw Blades may shatter or break and
cause serious personal injury.
Always install the Saw Blade so that the arrow on the Blade points in the di-

Keep hands and fingers away from the cutting area and Saw Blade.

Never attempt to remove material stuck in the Cut Off Saw while it is operat-
