NEVER REACH AROUND THE SAW BLADE.

PROPERLY SUPPORT EXTRA LONG OR EXTRA WIDE WORKPIECES. Workpieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the abrasive wheel to seize resulting in a sudden kick back motion resulting in damage to the work- piece and Cut-off saw as well as possible severe injury to the operator.

NEVER START THE CUT-OFF SAW WITH THE WORKPIECE IN CONTACT WITH THE ABRASIVE WHEEL. The sudden start-up of the abrasive wheel could cause it to fracture resulting in pieces flying away from the Cut-off saw resulting in damage the workpiece, the Cut-off saw, and/or serious injury to the operator.

DISCONNECT THE CUT-OFF SAW POWER CORD FROM THE AC OUTLET before making adjustments to the worktable, clamps, vises, workpieces, changing abrasive wheels, or changing the speed of the drill motor preventing the tool from accidentally turning on. Failure to adhere to this step could result in dam- age to both the workpiece and the Cut-off saw as well as possible severe injury to the operator.

TURN OFF TOOL AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE TO STOP before moving work- piece or changing settings.

THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE CUT-OFF SAW BEFORE CHANGING TYPES OF WORKPIECES. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. CONSULT EXPERT ADVICE BEFORE CUTTING IN WORKPIECES MADE OF MAGNESIUM. The friction generated by the abrasive wheel could cause the magnesium to ignite resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or seriously damage the Cut-off saw.

Magnesium fires cannot be extinguished using fire extinguisher with an “A”, “B” or “C” rating. Only a class “D” extinguisher (for flammable metals) should be used. Do not attempt to extinguish a magnesium fire with water or other liquid. The result will be an explosive reaction that could result in severe burns or death to the operator.

Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder. This will substantially weaken the wheel causing an unsafe condition. The wheel could come apart sending fragments in all directions. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious damage to the tool and/or serious injury or even death to the operator.

Do not alter in any way, shape, or form the upper and lower guards around the abrasive cutting wheel. These guards are there to protect the operator against unexpected conditions, such as breaking, of the cutting wheel. Any modifica- tion of these guards voids the warranties set forth by the manufacturer.

DO NOT OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT GUARDS IN PLACE.

NEVER PERFORM CUTTING OPERATIONS NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR LIQUIDS. The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause permanent serious injuries to the operator and damage to the Cut-off saw and surrounding work area.

ALWAYS KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the workpiece while it is on the table and the Cut-off saw is turned on. Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Severe injury could result.

DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.

ALWAYS CLAMP THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE WORK TABLE. Never attempt to hold the workpiece by hand. The abrasive wheel can seize in the workpiece causing it to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the work- piece resulting in severe injuries or damage to the workpiece and Cut-off saw.

NEVER APPLY A COOLANT DIRECTLY TO THE WORKPIECE WHILE IT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE ABRASIVE WHEEL. Coolant can weaken the makeup of the abrasive wheels causing them to fail.

NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT OR ASSEMBLY to workpieces in front of the Cut-off saw while it is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands in contact with the moving parts of the Cut-off saw resulting in injury to the operator.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch is set to the “OFF” position before plugging the power cord into the AC outlet.

TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE CUT-OFF SAW TO THE “OFF” POSITION AND UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when the cutting operations are finished. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the Cut-off saw making it ready for the next use.

NEVER LEAVE THE CUT-OFF SAW RUNNING UNATTENDED. WHEN FINISHED WITH A CUTTING OPERATION, TURN “OFF” THE CUT-OFF SAW AND WAIT UNTIL IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.

SECURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD WHEN THE CUT-OFF SAW IS NOT IN USE to prevent unauthorized use of the tool and/or to prevent children from accidentally turning it on.
