[. . . ] ) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. [. . . ] Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool. â· DO NOT perform any operation "FREEHAND" -- always use the fence to position and guide the work for both rip cuts and crosscuts. â· NEVER hold onto or touch the "free end" of the workpiece or a "free piece" that is cut off, while power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating. â· Shut "OFF" the saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the cutting tool, or making adjustments. ) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury. Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your flooring saw to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. it is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter's Laboratories , CSA and Federal OSHA authorities. ImpoRTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. To reduce the risk of electric shock, your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not change the plug in any way. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends and edges. ANTi-KicKBAcK pAWlS Device which, when properly maintained, is designed to stop the workpiece from being kicked back at the operator during operation. FReehAND Performing a cut without a fence, miter gauge, fixture, hold down or other proper device to keep the workpiece from twisting during the cut. Heel Misalignment of the blade which causes the trailing or outfeed side of the blade to contact the cut surface of the workpiece. Heel can cause kickback, binding, excessive force, burning of the workpiece or splintering. In general, heel creates a poor quality cut and can be a safety hazard. keRf The amount of material removed by the blade in a through cut or slot produced by the blade in a non-through or partial cut. [. . . ] For your own safety, always observe the following safety precautions in addition to the safety instructions on Pages 2-6. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the rip fence because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK. If the PAWLS do not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it, the anti-kickback pawls must be REPLACED. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.
