the machine. If in doubt DONOTPLUGINTHETOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate is harmful to the motor.

1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE

Read and understand the owners manual and labels affixed to

the machine. Learn its application and limitations as well as its

specific potential hazards.

2. GROUND THE MACHINE.

This machine is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and

a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type

receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.

NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

Keep in good working order, properly adjusted and aligned.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches

are removed from the machine before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Make sure the floor

is clean and not slippery due to wax and dust build-up.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don’t use machinery in damp or wet locations or expose them to

rain. Keep work area well lit and provide adequate surrounding

work space.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.

All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF.

Use padlocks, master switches or remove starter keys.

9. USE PROPER SPEED.

A machine will do a better and safer job when operated at the

proper speed.

10. USE RIGHT TOOL.

Don’t force the machine or the attachment to do a job for which it

was not designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings,

watch) because they could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip

footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.

12. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

Always wear safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

13. DON’T OVERREACH.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN MACHINE WITH CARE.

Keep machine clean for best and safest performance. Follow

1. Keep hands well away from the blade and all moving parts. Use a

brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.

2. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and in proper cutting

direction before operation.

3. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning

to cut.

4. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades

are unsafe and can lead to accidents.

5. Do not push or force the blade into the workpiece. The saw will

perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which

it was designed.

6. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece kickback, never

stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path

of the workpiece.

7. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not

overreach while cutting, keep both feet on floor. Use support roller

or have an assistant help when cutting long material.

8. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must

be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly

reinstalled before using the machine again.

USING THE OVERLOAD PROTECTION SWITCH

This machine has a safety overload protection feature, which will cut the power to

the motor if the voltage or amperage spikes abnormally. If an electrical overload

occurs, there are several common causes:

1. Cutting thick or dense materials could overwork the motor, and cause a spike

in the amperage draw. Avoid forcing the saw to cut through such materials.

2. Not using an appropriate extension cord to power the machine. This could

cause a spike in amperage draw if the cord is too long, or not rated for the

proper capacity.

3. An overloaded circuit. Make sure the machine is connected to a circuit that is

capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine, as well as any other

devices that maybe drawing from the same circuit.

How to reset the overload protection switch:

1. Access the electrical panel by removing the four round head allen screws (A)

Fig.21 using a 3mm hex. key. Remove the electrical box cover (B).

2. Press the reset button (A) Fig.22 to reset the overload protection switch.

Reinstall the electrical box cover before attempting to start the machine.

3. If the machine still won’t start after resetting the overload protection switch,

check the three fuses (B) Fig.22. Replace if necessary with the appropriate

rated fuse(s).

Fuse ratings: FU1 = 1 Amp., FU2 = 1 Amp., FU3 = 2 Amp.

ADJUSTING THE SWIVEL BASE

1. Unlock the swivel base (B) Fig.23 by pushing the lever (A) towards the left.

2. Use the down feed handle to set the swivel base and the blade at the desired

angle, the swivel angle is displayed on the miter scale (C).
