Safety RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your tool or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS DANGER A "DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION" safety warning will be surrounded by a "SAFETY ALERT BOX." This box is used to designate and emphasize Safety Warnings that must be followed when operating this tool.
DANGER DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off! WARNING KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
WARNING DON'T OVERREACH Keep proper footing and balance at all times. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and replace if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
CAUTION OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. STAY ALERT Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
CAUTION ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR AIR VENT FULLY OPENED A constantly open motor air vent is necessary to allow air to come in and out for cooling the motor. Do not allow it to become clogged up, even if dust is blown through it. OPERATE POWER TOOLS AT THE RATED VOLTAGE Operate power tools at voltages specified on the nameplates.
CAUTION SUPPORT LARGE PANELS Large panels must be supported as shown in Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. A TYPICAL ILLUSTRATION OF SUPPORT LARGE PANELS TO AVOID KICKBACK, SUPPORT THE PANEL NEAR THE USE RIP FENCE CUT Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping. (Fig.
CAUTION LOWER GUARDS Raise lower guard with the retracting handle (Lever). ADJUSTMENTS Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES IN MOUNTING Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts. AVOID CUTTING NAILS Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. POLARIZED PLUGS To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
CAUTION EXTENSION CORD Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
Functional Description MODEL: ET-3402-J CIRCULAR SAW NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance of the power tool. NEVER operate, or attempt any maintenance on the tool unless you have first read and understood all safety instructions contained in this manual. Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual may show details or attachments that differ from those on your own power tool NAME OF PARTS: (Fig.
Operation APPLICATIONS: Cutting various types of wood. PRE-OPERATION: Before using the Electric Power Tool, complete the following preparations: 1. Power source: Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate. 2. Power switch: Ensure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position.
Operation OPERATION: CUTTING PROCEDURES: CAUTION: RECHECK THAT THE SAW BLADE IS SECURELY CLAMPED. CONFIRM THAT THE CLAMP LEVER FOR ADJUSTING THE SLOT DEPTH, THE WING-BOLT FOR ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF INCLINATION. GRIP THE SAW AS SHOWN IN FIG. 2 AND BE SURE THE CORD IS FREE TO MOVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE CUT WITHOUT JAMMING OR GETTING IN THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE. 1. 2. 3. (Fig. 8) Place the saw body (base) on the lumber, and as in Fig.
Operation OPERATION (CONTINUED): POCKET CUTTING: CAUTIONS: RELEASE TRIGGER AFTER CUTTING WORK AND DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENT. NEVER TIE OR WEDGE THE SAFETY COVER IN A RAISED POSITION. 1. Mark the desired cutting area clearly with lines all side. (See Fig. 9) 2. Set depth adjustment according to material to be cut. 3. Push the safety cover lever all the way back so the blade is exposed as shown in Fig. 9. 4. Tilt saw forward and align the notch (Fig.
Operation OPERATION (CONTINUED): MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE SAW BLADE: CAUTION: 1. 2. TO AVOID SERIOUS ACCIDENT, ENSURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION, AND THE POWER SOURCE IS DISCONNECTED. Dismounting the saw blade (Fig. 10): To replace the saw blade, push the lock lever, then loosen the hexagonal bolt with the wrench. The blade comes off easily. Mounting the saw blade: a. Thoroughly remove any sawdust which has accumulated on the spindle, bolt and washers. b.
Maintenance and Inspection MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION: CAUTION: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. BE SURE TO SWITCH POWER OFF AND DISCONNECT THE PLUG DURING MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION. Inspecting the saw blade: Since use of a dull saw blade will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted. Inspecting the mounting screws: Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened.
Maintenance and Inspection SERVICE AND REPAIRS All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to wear from normal use. These operations should ONLY be performed by a John Deere Dealer. REPLACEMENT PARTS When servicing use only identical replacement parts. NOTE: Due to JOHN DEERE's continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
