General Electrical Cautions

This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.

Wire Sizes

Caution: For circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be in- creased in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords accord- ing to the following table is recommended.

3.Be sure that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece when the motor is started. The motor shall be started and you should allow the saw to come up to full speed before bringing the saw blade into contact with the workpiece.

4.Keep hands away from the blade area. See

Figure A.

5.Remove any cut off piece carefully while keeping your hands free of the blade area.

6.Saw must be stopped and electrical supply must be cut off before any blade replacement or adjustment of blade support mechanism is done, or before any attempt is made to change the drive belts or before any periodic service or maintenance is performed on the saw.

7.Remove loose items and unnecessary workpieces from area before starting machine.

8.Bring adjustable saw guides and guards as close as possible to the workpiece.

9.Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servicing, or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protection. See Figure B.

10.Nonslip footwear and safety shoes are recom- mended. See Figure C.

11.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. See Figure D.
