IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR CUT-OFF SAWS

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 pro- motes the absorption of harmful chemicals into your body.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. If there are instructions in this manual that are not completely understood, seek the advice of a trained professional or contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 before attempting to perform the procedures. Failure to follow all instructions list- ed in this manual may result in property damage, damage to the tool, or serious personal injury or even death.

UNPACK THE CUT-OFF SAW COMPLETELY FROM ITS CARTON. Inspect the saw and accessories and ensure they are free from defects or breakage due to shipping.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS CUT-OFF SAW until it is completely assembled accord- ing to the instructions 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. Safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Approved safety glasses and goggles will have Z87 printed or stamped on them.

FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES. Use only properly grounded three-hole ground- ed receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet. See ELECTRICAL SAFETY section in this manual.

KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS at a safe distance from the Cut-off saw while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other apparel that could possibly become caught in the moving parts of the Cut-off saw. When working in a shop environment around power tools, wear nonslip footwear. Use protective hair covering to contain long hair.

KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AT ALL TIMES. Cluttered areas around the Cut- off saw can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the moving parts of the Cut-off saw.

MAINTAIN A PROPER WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the Cut-off saw in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical components to malfunction resulting in damage to the Cut-off saw and/or seri- ous injury or death to the operator.

DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.

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 work- piece, and possible severe injury to the operator. Contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized accessories.

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. Contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized abrasive wheel specifications.

DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. The Cut-off saw will do a better job and be safer if cutting operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this manual.

ALWAYS EASE THE CUTTING WHEEL AGAINST THE WORKPIECE when start- ing a cutting operation. 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 exists, check the bearings and the motor shaft and repair or replace them as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage to both the workpiece and the Cut-off saw.

ADJUST THE TOOL TABLE BEFORE EACH USE. The tool table should be tight- ened and placed at the proper angle for the cutting job before the Cut-off saw is put into use. If not properly adjusted, the workpiece can unexpectedly move causing the abrasive wheel to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe injury to the operator.

DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CUT-OFF SAW when it is first turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.
