ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

APPLICATIONS

Cutting fiber cement board

(Ex. HARDI PLANK, HARDI PANEL)

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1.Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements specified on the product nameplate.

2.Power switch

Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can cause serious injury.

3.Extension cord

When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.

4.Check the receptacle

If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.

If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.

5.Confirming condition of the environment:

Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to prescribed precautions.

6.Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 9)

Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface of the work piece, place the work piece on a workbench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a workbench, select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable workbench will result in hazardous operation.
