Power Tool Use and Care
Do not force power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.
Do not use power tool if switch does not
turn it ON or Off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
m a k i n g a n y a d j u s t m e n t s , c h a n g i n g
accessories, or storing power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and easier to control.
Use of power tool, accessories and
tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in hazardous situations.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
hazardous situations.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool 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. This saw is
wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz.
alternating current. Before connecting the
motor cord to a power source, make certain
that the switch is in the "OFF" position and be
sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as that stamped on the table
saw nameplate.
Connection to A Power Source
This machine must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug the power cord into a 110-120V properly
grounded type outlet protected by a 15-
amp dual-element time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker. Not all outlets
are properly grounded.
If you are not sure
that your outlet, as
pictured on this page,
is properly grounded;
have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the
metal prongs on the plug when installing
or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
Failure to properly ground this power
tool can cause electrocution or serious
shock, particularly when used near
metal plumbing or other metal objects.
If shocked, your reaction could cause your
hands to hit the tool.
If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately to
avoid shock or fire hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts and is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug,
approved by Underwriters Laboratories and the
Canadian Standards Association. The ground
conductor has a green jacket and is attached to
the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is of the two-prong type, DO NOT
REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified
