ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
○
The tool is designed for wood cutting applications.
WARNING:
Use extra caution when cutting freshly cut green lumber, hardwood, wet wood, composite wood, pressure
treated wood, wood containing knots or having other characteristics which may put a heavy load on the
saw or blade. If this occurs, do not force the tool. Push the tool more slowly, but with enough force to keep
working without much decrease in speed.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the switch is in the ON
position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact a licensed electrician to
make appropriate repairs.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confi rming condition of the environment:
Confi rm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to prescribed precautions.
6. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 6)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the work
piece, place the work piece on a workbench when cutting. If a square
block is utilized as a workbench, select level ground to ensure it is
properly stabilized. An unstable workbench will result in hazardous
operation.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the portion of
work piece remaining after cutting is securely anchored or held
in position.
