POWER CONNECTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire. Before connecting
the machine to the power line make sure the switch(s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
machine.
This machine is double insulated. Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed by
a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Always
use identical replacement parts when servicing.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the “OFF” position.
DOUBLE INSULATION
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
r. After nishing the cut, release switch, hold the saw down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-o piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s. Hold the handle, rmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the position. The breaking action of the saw may cause the saw to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
t. Saw Head lock pin is for storage and transport only. This saw should never be locked in the down position while
making cuts.
u. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specifically
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
The double insulated system is designed to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. However, it is important to observe normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock
