d.Only composite abrasive or diamond abrasive Saw Blades rated at a mini- mum of 4,700 RPM.

2.Never use carbide-tipped, woodcutting, or circular machine Saw Blades. They can cause severe personal injury from reactive forces, blade contact, or thrown objects.

3.Only cut asphalt, concrete, stone, brick, and plastics with this Cut Off Saw.

4.Inspect the Saw Blade frequently, and replace immediately if the Blade is cracked, or warped. Cracked or warped Saw Blades may shatter or break and cause serious personal injury.

5.Always install the Saw Blade so that the arrow on the Blade points in the di- rection of the rotation of the spindle.

6.Keep hands and fingers away from the cutting area and Saw Blade.

7.Never attempt to cut more than one workpiece at a time.

8.When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly sup- ported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included).

9.Allow the Saw Blade to spin up to full speed before feeding it into a workpiece. When turning off the Cut Off Saw, allow the Saw Blade to spin down and stop on its own. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.

10.Do not force the Saw Blade into the workpiece when cutting. Apply moderate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced.

11.To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when chang- ing the Saw Blade.

12.The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to completely cool before handling.

13.Turn off the Cut Off Saw and allow the Saw Blade to completely stop if the Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

14.Never attempt to remove material stuck in the Cut Off Saw while it is operat- ing.
