WARNING
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SAW.
• Wear eye protection.
• Use splash hood for every operation for which it can be used.
• Disconnect saw before servicing, when changing cutting wheels, and cleaning.
• Use tool only with smooth-edge cutting wheels free of openings and grooves.
• Replace damaged cutting wheel before operating.
• Do not fill water bath above water fill line.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss power and overheating. Table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

EXTENSION CORDS: When using an extension cord,
ensure all cords are no smaller than #12 gauge, rated at
a 20 AMP minimum, and equipped with 3-prong plugs.
Use of anything smaller may result in overheating or
burn out of the motor. It is recommended to have an
electrician check the voltage at the saw motor to ensure
proper voltage to run the saw efficiently and safely.
