Use And Care Manual

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the
plug. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Contact
Customer Service if cord is damaged and do not use the saw. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Depending upon use, the switch may not last the life of the saw. If the switch
should fail in the “OFF” posion, the saw may not start. If it should fail while
the saw is running, the saw may not shut o. If either occurs, unplug the saw
immediately and do not use unl repaired. Contact Customer Service.
• When operang a power tool outside, always use an outdoor extension cord
with a minimum 13 amperes fuse. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock. For recommended sizes of extension cords
refer to the following table.
