Inspect Dry Cut Saw

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, inspect your Dry Cut Saw on a regular basis. The following inspection procedures should be performed before each use of the tool:

1.Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the grounding prong is missing or the cord is damaged, do not use the tool until the cord has been replaced.

2.Make sure the switches turn the tool ON and OFF. If broken, do not use until they are replaced.

NOTE! Switch Action (Figure 4)

There is a LOCK-OFF switch button on the handle. To start the tool, first depress the LOCK-OFF switch button and then pull the trigger. The trigger will not work before the LOCK-OFF switch button is depressed.

3.Inspect the saw for any broken, missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any conditions which may affect the safe and normal operation of the tool. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the tool until the problem has been repaired. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

4.Make sure all guards are in place and in working order.

5.Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the handles. This reduces the risk of injury due to the tool slipping from your grip.

6.Use only accessories recommended for your tool. Accessories used for other tools may be hazardous when used on this saw and lead to serious injury.

7.Inspect the cutting edges of your saw blade. If nec- essary, replace prior to using. Dull or damaged cutting edges can lead to injury, tool breakage or exces- sive heat build-up in the workpiece and the tool. Check that the speed rating of the saw blade is at least 1300 RPM.

8.Clean metal shavings and other debris from the chip tray located at the rear of the saw (Figure 1).
