5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. 6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
SERVICE 23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece. 11.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION • 001663 1 CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Adjusting the shoe When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help to lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe, loosen the lever counterclockwise and slide the shoe forward or back to the desired position.
Installing or removing saw blade • 001666 To install the saw blade, always make sure that the blade clamp sleeve is in released position before inserting the saw blade. If the blade clamp sleeve is in fixed position, rotate the sleeve to the released position. 001667 Insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and the saw blade is fixed. Make sure that the saw blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull it out.
twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously. 002516 MAINTENANCE • Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying chips when cutting metal. • Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which conforms with current national standards. • Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade wear. Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the tool to bounce.

WARNING 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, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
