DANGER:
Keep hands away
from cutting area and blade. Keep your
second hand on the auxiliary handle or
motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, the blade cannot cut them.
DANGER:
Blades coast after saw
is switched off.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
(handles) when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live”
wire will make the exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Cutting workpieces covered with
oil can cause the blade to come off
unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil from
workpieces before cutting.
3. Keep your body positioned to either
side of the saw blade, but not in line with
the saw blade.
DANGER:
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should consult
their physician(s) before using this product.
Operation of electrical equipment in close
proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
interference or failure of the pacemaker.
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 re-
productive 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. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
4. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
5. Do not cut an oversized workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance under
the workpiece before cutting so that the
blade will not strike the workbench or
material under the workpiece.
7. Make sure the blade is not contacting
the workpiece before reaching full speed.
8. Secure material before cutting. Never
hold a workpiece in your hand or on your
legs. Small or thin material may flex or
vibrate with the blade, causing loss of
control.
9. Never reach into the cutting path of the
blade.
