GENERAL SAFETY RULES
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from wheels. Do not reach underneathwork
or around or over the wheel while wheel is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when wheel is moving.
WHEEL COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If dam-
aged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at
an authorized service facility. 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. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating wheel.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electri-
cal receptacle.
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.
USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
USE ONLY CORRECT WHEELS. Do not use wheels with
incorrect size holes. Never use washers or arbor nuts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum wheel capacity
of your saw is 7 in. (178 mm).
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST-
MENTS ARE SECURE.
NEVER TOUCH WHEEL or other moving parts during
use.

PONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.

not listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instruc-
tions for safe use of accessories are included with the

ALWAYS SECURE WORKPIECE firmly against the rip
guide, miter guide, or bevel table.
NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
NEVER attempt to free a stalled wheel without first turning
the saw OFF and disconnecting the saw from the power
source.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the cutting tool.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING
to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
