• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction
manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• 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 should be properly repaired or replaced.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
a. This equipment may have a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
b. The tool may be equipped with a 3-prong grounding type
plug. This plug is to be used in a grounded outlet only.
If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
c. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Additional Safety Rules for Chop Saws
• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the wheel.
The wheel should also be inspected whenever you think
the tool may have been dropped. Flaws may cause wheel
breakage.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel or
if you are unsure of the condition of the wheel, hold the tool
in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the
wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less
than one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with
the wheel. This includes the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for
cracks or flaws.
• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure in this
manual.
• Do not remove wheel guards or base.
• ALWAYS US E THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP
WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring, bar, or
C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of
workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing these clamps and
make a dry run before making a cut.
• Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm or higher.
• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.
• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool.
• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.
• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base.
• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades
with this tool. Serious injury may result.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting
or arcing motor brushes may ignite com bus tible materials.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder.
This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an unsafe
condition. The wheel may come apart.
