1. Read and understand the instruction manual and all safety warnings before operating this saw. Failure to follow
instructions or heed warnings may result in electric shock, fire, serious personal injury or property damage.
Save these instructions and refer to them whenever necessary.
2. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, some types of dust created by sawing, power sanding,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities also contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are lead from lead-based paints, crystalline
silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber. In addition, wood dust has been listed as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government. The
risk from exposure to these chemicals and to dust varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment including dust
masks or respirators designed to filter out such dust and chemicals.

This saw must be connected to a grounded wiring system
or to a system having an equipment-grounding
conductor. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock and/or malfunction. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or
if in doubt as to whether the saw is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the saw’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
4.
Use a proper extension cord
and make sure that it is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your saw will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. For a cord length
of up to 25 feet, use a cord of 12 gauge. For a cord length of
25 to 50 feet, use a cord of 10 gauge. A cord length over 50
feet is not recommended for 110-120V power. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
