the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
METAL CHOP SAW
• AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT WITH DUST
created by the abrasive Cut-off saw. Allowing
the dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
your skin promotes the absorption of harmful
chemicals into your body.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS CUT-OFF SAW until
it is completely assembled according to the in-
structions in this manual. Failure to adhere to
these instructions could result in serious and/or
permanent injury to the operator.
• MAKE SURE APPROVED EYE PROTECTION
IS BEING WORN and properly adjusted and
secured at all times the Cut-off saw is in use.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses and ARE NOT safety glasses.
• DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-
HAND.
ALWAYS USE APPROVED TABLE CLAMPS AND
VICES to clamp workpieces to the Cut-off saw
table to prevent breakage, damage to the Cut-
off saw, the workpiece, and possible severe
injury to the operator.
• USE ONLY ABRASIVE CUTTING WHEELS
that are designed for the various speeds of
this Cut-off saw. The abrasive cutting wheels
should have an arbor size 5/8" OR SMALLER.
Unsuitable cutting wheels can break without
warning throwing fragments outward at high
speeds possibly causing severe injuries.
• ALWAYS EASE THE CUTTING WHEEL AGAINST
THE WORKPIECE when starting a cutting oper-
ation. A sudden impact can cause the abrasive
wheel to break sending fragments flying away
from the Cut-off saw at high speeds resulting
in possible severe injury to the operator.
• DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE WHEEL THAT
WOBBLES OR VIBRATES. Visually inspect the
abrasive wheels before they contact the
workpiece ensuring there are no side-to-side
movements. Should the abrasive wheel wobble
from side-to-side or if the tip appears broken,
replace them immediately. If the vibration still
