ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond imme-
diate area of operation.
Only use 8" metal cutting blades rated 3900/
min or greater. Do not use wood cutting
blades or abrasive wheels. Using blades not
recommended in this manual can result in a
hazardous situation.
Do not use dull blade. Additional sparks gen-
erated by using dull blade may cause a fire.
Do not use cutting oil. The use of cutting oil
may cause a fire.
Do not use tool near flammable material.
Sparks may cause a fire.
Do not cut workpieces covered or stained
with gas, oil, solvents, thinners, etc. Expo-
sure to these materials may cause a fire.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Let the blade reach full speed before con-
tacting the workpiece. This will help avoid
thrown workpieces.
After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw steady and wait for blade to
stop before removing work or cutoff piece.
REACHING WITH YOUR HAND UNDER A
COASTING BLADE IS DANGEROUS!
Do not operate tool without chip tray in-
stalled. Flying debris can cause fire or per-
sonal injury.
Empty chip tray into suitable container.
Make sure container does not have any
combustible materials. The hot metal chips
may ignite combustible materials and cause a
fire.
The chip tray cover may become very hot
after use. Do not touch with bare hand.
When cleaning do not combine hot metal
chips with combustible materials. The hot
metal chips may ignite combustible materials
and cause a fire.

Do not use dust extraction for operations
where dust may include burning, smoking
or smoldering items like hot metal chips or
sparks. Fire inside the vacuum tank or bag
may occur. Dust may smolder and set vacuum
on fire long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction when working
on metal. Chips from cutting metal may be hot
and may spark which may melt plastic adap-
tors, vacuum hoses and may cause a fire in-
side the vacuum tank or bag.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
