WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.

POWER SUPPLy
Before operating the cut-off machine, check the power
supply and make sure it meets the requirements listed on
the tool's data plate. A substantial voltage drop will cause a

insufficient extension cord size and multiple tools operating
from the same power source.

adjustable fence set at some angle other than zero.
 Loosen the miter lock handle securing the fence.
