Double Insulation

English

6.In no case should the tool be turned on with the blade already in contact with the material. Only insert the saw blade into the material after the tool has fully reached its desired speed. If the blade speed is too low at the beginning of a cut, undue strain is placed on the blade and the tool can vibrate or potentially kick back.

7.Make sure the base plate is securely in contact with the work before beginning the cut.

8.Do not force the saw feed. Allow the tool to cut at a moderate rate of speed.

9.Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.

10.Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may result.

11.Make certain the power cord and extension cord are kept to the rear of the tool during operation. This practice lessens the likelihood of accidentally cutting the cords during use.

12.When removing the blade from the tool, avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the blade or accessory. Accessories may be hot after use.

13.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive 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, depending 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.

1.To ensure safer operation of this tool, Freud has adopted a double insulation design. “Double Insulation” means that two physically separated insulation systems have been used to insulate the electrically conductive materials connected to the power supply from the outer frame handled by the operator.

To keep the double insulation system effective, follow these precautions:

•Be careful not to pierce the motor housing as this could damage the efficiency of the double insulation system.

•Only Freud Authorized Service Centers should disassemble or assemble this power tool, and only genuine Freud replacement parts should be installed. Contact Freud at 1-800-334- 4107 to find a Freud authorized service center near you.
