GENERAL SAFETY RULES Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES continued d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Keep blades sharp.

EXTENSION CORD SELECTION If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix WA or W following the cord type designation.
OPERATION SELECTING THE BLADE For best performance, longer blade life, and smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job. A complete line of accessories is available from your Porter-Cable•Delta Supplier, Porter-Cable•Delta Factory Service Centers, and Porter-Cable Authorized Service Stations.

Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the saw. Connect saw to power circuit. Hold saw firmly.
VARIABLE SPEED The saw is equipped with a variable speed control (0 to 2600 SPM). As the switch trigger is squeezed, the speed of the saw blade increases. The lower speeds are recommended for most metal cutting, while the higher speeds are recommended for wood. A few practice cuts at various speeds (on scrap material), will aid you in choosing the best speed for obtaining the desired results on your application.
