•Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely before using tool.
•Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or removing it or when removing the diamond knockout.
•Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting a cut.
•Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold the tool firmly with both hands when in use.
•Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your hands relative to the blade.
•Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
•Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only
•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
